The Safe Spaces Team supports people affected by hoarding. We aim to help achieve and maintain a safer and less cluttered home environment.
The seven district councils in Leicestershire are working together on a pilot project looking at how residents can be supported to improve their home environments and their wellbeing.
Support workers will work one to one with residents whose daily lives are affected by hoarding behaviours and excessive clutter in their homes. Support workers will aim to identify the barriers that prevent residents from improving their living conditions and empower them to overcome those barriers.
