Hoarding Awareness Week 2023

It is a stakeholder awareness campaign across the political, health and social care communities to raise awareness of the risks associated with hoarding.

Hoarding Awareness Week has three key objectives:

•Spread more widely an awareness of hoarding facts.

•Promote greater understanding and acceptance across those who can influence change through education.

•Encourage key influencers to support and promote at key moments.

Theme for National Hoarding Awareness Week 2023: INNOVATION AND NEW APPROACHES

Change is hugely key for people with hoarding behaviour but it has to be embraced by agencies supporting people with the issue too. Keeping an open and curious mind helps us all. Changing mindsets might be harder though as sometimes we don't see our 'habits' working on our thinking. Hoarding Awareness week is a time for a new think and hopefully a reset in our approaches.
