Hoarding Conference 2019

Cheshire East Safeguarding Adults Board and Cheshire East Council hosted a local conference at Regents Park, Nantwich on Wednesday 20 March 2019. This conference aimed to highlight the growing need in Cheshire East to expand our services in order to give individuals affected by Hoarding behaviour the necessary services to support them towards long-term change. The conference was attended by over 100 delegates from a wide range of partner agencies across the borough. The keynote session was delivered by Heather Matuozzo the founder of Clouds End CIC , the first social enterprise dedicated to working with people who have hoarding issues.
