Hoarding information event

Hoarding is often misunderstood as messiness or laziness, but it is a complex mental health condition that can severely impact a person's wellbeing, relationships and safety.

To mark Hoarding Awareness Week 2025, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue service have teamed up with Gateshead Council's Housing Team and the Safeguarding Business Unit to:

• share practical advice
• signpost to services and self help resources
• share information and answer questions about support available to residents
• provide information about safe and well visits

Whether you are seeking support for yourself or someone else - or would just like to find out more - we are here to help.
