In April 2026, a team of dedicated Hourglass runners will take on the London Landmarks Half Marathon to help end the abuse and neglect of older people across the UK.

Hourglass is the only charity in the UK solely focused on ending the abuse of older people and promoting safer ageing. 1 in 5 older people over 60 experience abuse, neglect, or exploitation.

We’re here to change that.

Funds raised through this campaign will help support our 24/7 Helpline and Frontine Service Team, providing advice, guidance, and practical help to older people at risk and those who care about them. With more than 17,000 contacts made to our Helpline each year, your support ensures someone is always there to listen and help.

Whether you’re running, donating, or cheering from the sidelines, every step and every pound makes a difference.
