A housing scheme in Didsbury is offering free support to tenants with hoarding disorders, giving a new lease of life to those living in clutter.<\/p>\n

Lynsey Grundy, a hoarding and tenancy specialist, is the founder of Tidy Homes, Tidy Minds<\/a>, which aims to improve the lives of those people suffering from hoarding disorder.<\/p>\n

Lynsey set up the project following the introduction of the bedroom tax when she would often visit tenants.<\/p>\n

\"Tidy
Lynsey Grundy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was then that she discovered several tenants displayed hoarding behaviour, were living in terrible conditions but not receiving any support.<\/p>\n

By offering one-to-one assessments and follow-up sessions in which people gradually rid themselves of the clutter that fills their homes, this improves the living situation of people often living in miserable and potentially unsafe conditions.<\/p>\n

Lynsey said: \u201cHoarding disorder can often be really psychological.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an extremely debilitating condition, which is often based on trauma and there\u2019s often a lot of embarrassment behind it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Tidy

She said some tenants had been living in horrific conditions, with one man without toilet facilities in his home for three years and using a bag for his own waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis specific gentleman was also an insulin-dependent diabetic, we found he\u2019d been leaving his insulin outside on the windowsill, so we were forced to intervene for his own safety,\u201d said Lynsey.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you can see, the work we do not only improves lives, but can also save lives!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoarding disorder was added to the DSM -V as a classified disorder in 2013. It was previously categorised under OCD-related disorders.<\/p>\n

In 2018, hoarding disorder<\/a> was also recognised by the World Health Organisation as a mental health condition.<\/p>\n

Lynsey\u2019s work will contribute to psychological research on hoarding disorder. There are currently limited statistics on the condition and better understanding of the condition will enable better help for sufferers in the future.<\/p>\n

Gill Lambert sought help from Tidy Homes, Tidy Minds privately after realising she wanted help with her home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has opened my life up, it allowed me to look at something and think \u2013 I\u2019m proud of this!,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Gill found help for decluttering her home following the death of her husband.<\/p>\n

She said:  \u201cWe were both busy people, and I have no interest whatsoever in cleaning or tidying. I found it really easy to get help, I simply typed in \u2018de clutter Manchester.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gill\u2019s home is now a space where she can both live and entertain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI now have parties! I have Gin parties and I recently hosted a trivial pursuit party; I even hosted an anti-Valentine\u2019s party which involved lots of wine!,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Clearing Gill\u2019s home took 18 months and involved many sessions in which the furniture was removed from her home and donated to charity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can now also cook for my neighbour. He isn\u2019t able to cook for himself; it brings me great gratification,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Gill said she would recommend or anyone who was struggling with hoarding tendencies to seek help \u201cDo not hesitate, it will change your life!\u201d<\/p>\n

Tidy Homes, Tidy Minds is a service provided by Southway Housing Trust.<\/p>\n

Lynsey said: \u201cOur aftercare following our service includes a confidential support group where in which people who have accessed help from us can gather and talk to each other and get support from others.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the current pandemic, Southway Housing Trus<\/a>t – which runs the tidy homes prjoect – is offering extensive support to tenants.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s concerning to think that there are others out there who live in clutter who have to stay at home during this time, as it can often pose as a danger, especially to the elderly,\u201d said Lynsey.<\/p>\n

If you live in Greater Manchester and are or know of anyone who has hoarding tendencies that may need support, you can contact Tidy Homes, Tidy Minds through their Facebook page @tidyhomestidyminds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
