Dear Geoff,

Lovely talking with you this afternoon, and thank you so much again for agreeing to post this on the website. As I say, we are working to a very tight deadline now so your help is very much appreciated. This is what we would like to go up:

NEW C4 DOCUMENTARY: ARE YOU A COMPULSIVE HOARDER?

Award-winning TV company Twenty Twenty are making a documentary series about hoarding.

Our series will take a therapeutic approach – following a group of current sufferers on a unique 10 week therapy program, which will combine specialist decluttering in the home. We want to show how hoarding affects real lives, and explore the complexities of this often misunderstood condition.

We are now looking for people to take part in the series.

We’re particularly keen to speak to people who might care for a family, work full or part time, are married or in a relationship, and who have an active social life – but who also hoard. Perhaps you keep it secret from friends and colleagues? Or maybe you’re living with a hoarding partner and don’t know what to do?

If you would like to know more about the project, please contact Rachel or Emma for an informal chat on 02074247720 or email

Please also find our flyer attached. Totally at your discretion of course, but should you know of anybody who you think might be open to talking with us — or who might benefit from our project — please do pass this in their direction.

Thanks again Geoff, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Have a great weekend!

Rachel
THE AWARD WINNING MAKERS OF THE CHOIR AND GARROW’S LAW, ARE MAKING A DOCUMENTARY SERIES ABOUT HOARDING.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR CURRENT SUFFERERS TO GET IN TOUCH.
Twenty Twenty Television have been commissioned to make a four part documentary series, telling the untold story of what it’s like to suffer from Hoarding.
Our series will take a very therapeutic approach, following a group of sufferers on a unique treatment programme: a combination of group therapy, one-on-one treatments, and specialist de-cluttering services. We want to show how Hoarding affects real lives, and to explore the complexities and extent of this often misunderstood condition.
We are now looking for people to take part in the series. We understand how important trust is when it comes to sharing your story, and that it is often extremely difficult for people who Hoard to open up their homes — but we hope that by bringing together a therapeutic approach, with support from specialist cleaning teams, we might start you on a road to recovery.
We are not offering a cure, but what we are offering is an intensive, personalised course of treatment with an aim to improve hoarding behaviour.
We’re keen to speak to people who work full or part time, care for a family, are married or in a relationship, who have an active social life, but who also hoard. Maybe you keep it a secret from colleagues and friends; or maybe you’re living with a hoarding partner and don’t know what to do.
If you think you could help highlight the reality of life for sufferers, or you’d just like to find more out about the project, we’d love to hear from you.
