Ms ME Karnes (Founder/Chair) Dr S Singh (Clinical Director) (retired Dec 2023) Dr S Whomsley (resigned Feb 2024) Ms S Degan Ms Mandi Simms Mrs HC Matuozzo (resigned Dec 2023)
Governing Document
The charity is constituted by an Articles and Memorandum, incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on the 27 February 2012 and registered as a charity on 24 April 2017 with the object to promote and protect the physical and mental health of sufferers of hoarding disorder by (but not limited to): (a) advising, helping and supporting people with hoarding behaviours and those people impacted by those with hoarding behaviours;
-
(b) providing training to and supporting professionals in public and private services, who are supporting or working with those with hoarding behaviours, not limited to public authorities, services and health and mental health services and agencies; and
-
(c) raising awareness of hoarding behaviours with public services and the public at large to help increase understanding of hoarding behaviours and raise the levels of support and services available to those with hoarding behaviours or impacted by it.
The Charity has supported people affected by hoarding behaviour by providing:
-
specialist psychological and practical support that is person-centred, cost effective and time managed;
-
a national free and confidential support Helpline for people with hoarding behaviour, their friends,family, neighbours and professionals;
-
a national support group development programme (local and online);
-
a national remote advocacy service;
-
national awareness raising via free and funded talks and training, local and national media;-factsheets and information packs (printed and online); and
-
training delivery across the UK to empower improved systemic management and support for people with hoarding behaviours and those supporting them.
Organisational Structure and Decision Making
The affairs of the Charity are managed by its Trustees, who are required to exercise their powers to further the objects of the Charity.
Related Party Relationships
HoardingUK works closely with a number of NHS organisations, statutory services and private companies who provide specialist support for people with hoarding behaviour.
Overview of Delivery
The Trustees report that in 2023/2024, despite having specific funding to improve the above which provided more staff to support our work than ever in our history, key outcomes were not delivered thereby negatively impacting key services such as the free helpline – a core element of our work for fifteen years. These issues resulted in reduced: volunteers, grant income, support groups – as well as underachieving within newer initiatives.
While there were no issues relating to reported income and expenditure, how the monies were reported within the annual accounts were incorrectly presented. The founder and Chair, in line with their statutory responsibilities, refused to sign the accounts until these matters were resolved. This led to a late filing at Companies House and with the Charity Commission. It was the first time in our history that the charity was late in filing for the Charity Commission. It was agreed that the accuracy of the accounts was the highest priority. After months of review and audit these were corrected and submitted.
4
2023/2024 was the most challenging year to date for our work. The Trustees are committed to focusing on rebuilding core services and rectifying operational matters.
On a positive note, our groundbreaking work across the UK resulted in statutory engagement improving in several counties. The charity facilitated the launch of additional support groups across the UK. Our training and talks continued to empower both people with hoarding behaviors and those who serve them.
Risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity. The trustees are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate the Charity's exposure to the major risks.
Public Benefit
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissions general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future services. In particular, the board of trustees consider how our planned services will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Our grateful thanks to the following Trusts and Local Authorities who have contributed funds and commissioned services to assist HoardingUK to continue or develop its outreach: Trust for London, Enterprise Development Programme, Cripplegate Foundation, and commissioners within UK wide Multi-disciplinary Council roles.
The Trustees, team and participants at HoardingUK are extremely grateful for the support from our funders and commissioners for their support.
Our heartfelt thanks.
Supporting Research
We continued to focus on enabling people with hoarding behaviour to take part in research being undertaken by reputable researchers, in order to increase understanding of hoarding behaviour and its impact and treatments. Our Chair acted as an advisor to several significant programmes across the UK.
Serious Incidents Reports
The Charity Commission states that if a charity has an income of £25,000 or more, they must state if any serious incidents took place in the last year, including any that they should have reported but did not.
There have been no serious incidents.
Fundraising / Income Generation
Inconsistent with previous years our income decreased in 20234/2024.
Reserves
On 31 March 2022, unrestricted reserves were £ 22,912 and restricted funds were in hand at £ NIL, giving an overall net funds balance of £ 22,912. I’m checking this is correct.
Going Concern
After making appropriate enquiries, HoardingUK's Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Achievements and performance
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
As with many charities HoardingUK was affected by the pandemic. With training being our main area of revenue, providing face to face training was not possible with this being moved online
Our wide range of therapeutic services and training enables everyone to have a better understanding of Hoarding Behaviours.These skills can also help people particularly professionals to have a better understating of how to support PwHB. This knowledge can be applied at both home and work to help everyone to get the assistance they need
Unfortunately, our peer support groups were unable to run on a face-to-face basis. We were grateful for the understanding given by our funders of the situation and that we would re-commence these groups once the restrictions were lifted. This is slowly taking place, although we have found people are less likely to attend due to continuing fears from covid and and as such we expect the implementation of these groups to take longer than anticipated
Our priority over the next year is to strengthen HUK by diversifying our income streams and bring our finances back into surplus. Develop new and exciting services, providing safe, effective, clinically compliant services, across the mental health continuum, that enable people to make a life that works,and provide excellent value for money for those who fund them. To never accept that the way things are currently done needs to be the way things continue. Thus, working with our partners and listening to PwHB how we can best support them. We will continue to deliver an education and training programme online, through businesses, statutory services and elsewhere. With the aim to raise the profile of HUK and the impact Hoarding can have on both the PwHB, but also their family, friends, neighbours, and wider community. With the aim to raise the profile of HUK and the impact Hoarding can have on both the PwHB,but also their family, friends, neighbours, and wider community
The team once again have continued to deliver high quality services in a very challenging environment as more and more people seek help with Hoarding behaviours. But the capacity of services can't meet demand and need. Our staff and volunteers continue to be the most valuable of assets we could have as a small charity and alongside providing support, they continue to be tireless advocates for people experiencing and facing Hoarding issues
OUR SERVICES Advocacy
Our advocacy service is a non-statutory service. This enables HUK to liaise with local authorities and people with hording behaviour to find solutions with the outcomes being to reduce the risk of people being evicted and subsequently homeless
Peer Mentor
As we move out of covid, our face-to-face peer mentor support is slowly returning. However,we have also introduced virtual peer support sessions which has been well received by the participants
SUPPORT GROUP DEVELOPMENT
With covid the development of these groups was seriously impacted. This has continued post pandemic with many people.reluctant to attend face to face groups. The challenge going forward is to identify how we can continue to develop these groups including the possibility of adding virtual access

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Equipment - 25% reducing balance
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

HOARDINGUK LTD
Company Limited by Guarantee
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2024
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
The company is limited by guarantee and every member undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required (not exceeding £10) to the company's assets if it should be wound up while he/she is a member, or within one year after he/she ceases to be a member, for payment of the company's debts and liabilities contracted before he/she ceases to be a member.
