National Hoarding Conference

National Hoarding Conference 2018 – Improving Person-Centred Outcomes is an event for people, nationwide, who are affected by hoarding behaviour and the professional services who support them. This conference is being held as a precursor to an International Conference in UK in 2019.  Our theme in 2018 is ‘Partnership Working’.

Using expert-led, structured workshops and interactive discussion panels, the conference – organised by HoardingUK – has been designed as a proactive, outcome-driven programme of systemic and personal change planning. In order to ensure that enduring results are achieved, agreed plans will be monitored and evaluated throughout the following year, with regular updates in our member’s area and our newsletter.
