Sheffield Mind has partnered with the Sheffield Adult Safeguarding Partnership (SASPB) to provide essential support to adults in Sheffield experiencing self-neglect and/or hoarding and respond to identified local need and learning from Safeguarding Adult Reviews. 

Following the end of funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, we are delighted to have this commitment to sustaining the service to ensure preventative safeguarding support.

What the service provides:

Specialist one‑to‑one supportAddressing hoarding behaviours, aligned to Making Safeguarding Personal.

Our staff support people to look at lifestyle, explore the reasons that might be behind their hoarding histories and look at ways of changing behaviour. Through one-to-one and group support, people can access practical advice and input to address their home conditions and other difficulties that often accompany hoarding behaviour, such as social isolation.  . 

Group Support  - A programme of support groups (central groups for service users and family/friends, plus groups in S2 / S5)  is in the planning stages - more details to follow.

Our groups provide a safe and supportive space in which to share experiences, gain wider awareness and get support from people with lived experience. Friends & family are welcome to attend the session, so they are able to broaden their awareness and increase their understanding of hoarding.

Our next group will be starting on Wednesday 24th June at 10-11:30 am and then will be every 4th Wednesday following. 

This group will be taking place at the Pat Midgley Community Hub. 331 Manor Oaks Rd, Sheffield S2 5EE. See below for details
