Reaching CIC is a non-profit organisation that offers adults a variety of services across North Staffordshire.

Recovering Homes is our chargeable service specialising in supporting People who Hoard. We work with people in their initial stages of hoarding, and those who have been hoarding for many years and have an established hoard.  Almost all adults with hoarding behaviours will need a support service which sits alongside a clear and cleaning service to manage their anxiety through the process of clearing their hoard. They will need to be central to the process of clearing their hoard, in any capacity they are able to be. This is to try to change behaviour and prevent hoarding re-occurring.

Recovering Homes will:

• Build a relationship with you to assess your home and hoard, and gain an understanding of how you would like to manage your hoard – or what we call your “treasure”
• Work in ways that keep you at the centre of any plans to engage clearing/cleaning services
• Ensure that your overall health and wellbeing is at the centre of the plan and work with other professionals to make sure you are safe during the clear and clean
• Keep you involved in the process of clearing and cleaning your home
• Support you to plan how you will maintain your home – this may include purchasing ongoing cleaning or storage services
• Offer counselling sessions with a qualified psychotherapist
