Help for
compulsive
hoarders and
their families.

Thanks for visiting Helpforhoarders.co.uk

Thanks for visiting Helpforhoarders.co.uk. I have been compelled to set up this site because of my Mum’s chronic hoarding problems and because of my own experiences as a child growing up feeling ashamed and isolated because of our messy and cluttered home.

I want to provide information, support and advice and create awareness about this secretive condition, for hoarders and their loved ones.

The purpose of this site is not to judge or cure, but I hope that with the tools available here, hoarding will become better understood by both sufferers and the people around them, as well as medical professionals and the general public.

The information here is simple, personal and I have deliberately tried to keep the site un-cluttered and un-clinical.

My family and I have shared our experiences in the BBC 1 Documentary that followed our efforts to help Mum let go of some of her possessions so that her home could be functional again, and by opening this particular can of worms, we hope to help other people struggling with hoarding issues.

Please post a message on one of the boards, and hopefully we can create an on-line community of hope and understanding,
