More than the mess – understanding hoarding

Hoarding is rarely about the “stuff” alone. It’s often about meaning, memory and emotion, with the person always at the centre.

This welcoming, judgement-free workshop explores what hoarding is, why it happens and what first steps towards support can look like. Co-produced with someone with lived experience of hoarding, alongside people with expertise in the field, it’s for anyone touched by hoarding, whether you recognise it in yourself, are supporting a someone, or grew up in a home affected by hoarding. Together, we’ll build understanding, break down stigma and explore where to find support.
