We weren’t born knowing how to wash up (or load a dishwasher)!
We don’t know what we don’t know!
Cherry Rudge (Creator of the Hoarding Ice-Breaker Form and Founder of Rainbow Red) has been campaigning and delivering training and consultancy services related to clutter, disorganisation and hoarding behaviours since 2014.
She’s never happier than when she’s raising awareness of the connection between clutter, disorganisation and hoarding behaviours and Executive Dysfunction, and how these can affect our health and wellbeing (and vice-versa).
Our services include:
- Training & public speaking (formal and informal) – eg. Hoarding Support Groups; Health & wellbeing events; Conferences; Fire Station Open Days; Community safety events, etc
- Consultancy – eg. Hoarding Working Groups; Hoarding Protocols and Guidance; Expert Witness Court Reports; etc
- We’re delighted that the Hoarding Ice-Breaker Form is being included in hoarding protocols and guidelines documents, and has been successfully adapted for use by (for example):
- Charities – eg. Mind
- Housing Associations – eg. as part of major refurbishment projects, to start conversations with residents who will need to move out of their accommodation.
