Hampshire Hoarders to Get Help from New Charity Scheme

January 4, 2012 by Avery Associates

A charity has just launched a scheme to provide help and support to those who suffer from compulsive hoarding. Hampshire hoarders will benefit from this scheme which is being run by Sanctuary Housing Group.

As a Hampshire house clearance company we are pleased to see that the aim of the new scheme is to provide support to those tenants who have a problem with hoarding and are accumulating too many items as a result of their condition.

Sanctuary Housing Group is joining forces with another charity, Clouds End, which works with people who are affected by hoarding in Hampshire and other areas. Clouds End is going to provide training to officers from Sanctuary Housing so that they will have a much better idea of how they can help hoarders.

Hoarding affects thousands of people across the UK, and it can lead to serious issues for the victims and for their neighbours. Living space becomes unlivable as areas become too crowded with items, and hygiene can become a serious issue.

The director for housing and communities at Sanctuary Group, Simon Clark, said that the group is ‘committed to helping residents improve the quality of their lives’, but that it also makes good financial sense because the damage caused by hoarding can sometimes cost thousands of pounds.

The founder of Clouds End, Heather Matuozzo, said that hoarding ‘can be a sign of deep-rooted emotional and psychological difficulties’ and it is a serious issue where the individuals need to get access to good support.

This is great news not just for hoarders but for people who have been affected by their hoarding behaviours, such as family members, friends and neighbours. By helping hoarder’s and giving them back control over their collecting habits, schemes like this can make a real difference to many people’s lives.

Avery Associates are specialists at dealing with compulsive hoarding in Hampshire, and can clear a hoarder’s house efficiently and discretely. For confidential advice call Jeffrey Avery on 0800 567 7769.

As well normal house clearances we specialise in clutter clearance and we can clear a hoarded house which may contain years of accumulated possessions, or which have abnormal amounts of general household items, sometimes as a result of compulsive hoarding syndrome.

Equally we can help to clear a property where the occupants were previously unwell and unable to care for themselves or their property which sometimes results in insanitary, dangerous or just plain unpleasant conditions.
