Hoarding UK
HoardingUK is the only UK-wide charity dedicated to supporting people affected by hoarding behaviours. Our aim is to empower individuals experiencing hoarding behaviours to achieve spatial and personal change to improve their health and wellbeing, to improve practice amongst professionals, to raise awareness and increase understanding.
ABOUT US: 

We were founded in 2008 by Megan Karnes– who whilst running another national mental health charity – realised that people with hoarding disorder were not being treated the same as people with other mental health disorders.

From that activist launch, we are now a multi-service organisation helping thousands of people each year through our National Helpline, Advocacy; Information Packs; a one-to-one in-home Support Service; a free Benefits Support Service, a national training programme for professionals and organisations including our award nominated (Chartered Institute of Housing/Inside Housing) psychological support groups.

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 

Our work, alongside others, has been instrumental in changing the perception of hoarding disorder.
