Conference ‘No Age Limit’: The Hidden Face of Domestic Abuse

The Age UK HEY ‘No Age Limit’: The Hidden Face of Domestic Abuse conference on Friday 4th October will bring together key partners, practitioners and organisations involved in tackling domestic.

Age UK HEY want to ensure that no older person has to live in fear of domestic abuse and violence. We know from the work that we do in our communities that older people are experiencing violence, coercion and abuse in their later years, often from a spouse or others in their careering network, and many of these adults are reluctant to come forward and seek help and support. 

At the conference attendees will:

• Explore how this manifests itself in older households

• Raise awareness around this vitally important issue

• Explore together how to strengthen our local offer across Hull and East Yorkshire

Event Details

Date: 4th October 2024
Time:  9:30 to 13:00
Venue: Freedom Centre, Hull HU9 3QB

At the first event of its kind in the region keynote addresses will be delivered by:

• Age UK Hull and East Yorkshire CEO – Andy Haynes
• Age UK National Domestic Abuse Lead – Carrie Bower
• East Riding Domestic Violence and Abuse Partnership (DVAP)
• Hull Domestic Abuse Partnership (DAP)

Following these addresses there will be a structured discussion and feedback time as our focus at Age UK HEY is to work together with all involved in DA work across the region to ensure that local older people get the support and services they need and we see this event as beginning this important work.

Please share details of this event across your networks. For this event we are seeking to engage with all organisations involved in domestica abuse support and those who come across throughout Hull and East Yorkshire. The voice of older people with lived experience of domestic abuse is very important and we have future plans to ensure their voices are heard and stories are told.
