Hoarding UK
"Hoarding UK is actively working with people who hoard, families, services and communities. Our goal is to create local hoarding task forces, involving mental health, environmental, support/social work teams coming together to solve, not salve, this problem
Hoarding UK is a division of Mental Health Consultancy UK "
"At the present time Hoarding UK is providing informal advocacy on behalf of clients. This can mean anything from providing information to people affected by Compulsive Hoarding, including professionals , family and friends. Please get in touch by letter, phone or email. We are able to write letters, make calls and work to bring professionals to an understanding. So far even this little bit of support seems to be making a difference. "
