https://www.hoardinguk.orgWe are the only UK charity dedicated to supporting people affected by hoarding. We are the first point of call for people with hoarding behaviours, their friends, family, neighbours and professionals. As such we support over 9,000 people each year through our range of services which include therapy, in-home support, advocacy (which has prevented 100% of threatened evictions), support groups, training, National Hoarding Conferences and awareness campaigns.
Health
Hoarding disorder is a complex mental health condition which severely affects every aspect of people’s lives. 2-5% of the population are estimated to be living with hoarding behaviours (up to 3.3 million people in the UK) which represents the second highest incidence rate of all mental health conditions; despite this there is no adequate support available. In fact, people are being negatively affected by punitive legal action and home clearances, exasperating their condition further.
As a charity, we qualify for a $90,000 Google Ads Grant. We are a micro charity run by volunteers so are in need of capacity in order to make the most of this amazing opportunity. We also need support with managing our social media channels to grow our digital audiences and in-turn, increase income.
