About the organisation

At Red Squirrel OT CIC, our mission is to compassionately support individuals facing hoarding challenges by delivering tailored occupational therapy interventions. We are dedicated to understanding and addressing the unique emotional, physical and mental health needs behind hoarding behaviour, emphasising personal empowerment and decision-making. Our approach goes beyond temporary fixes, focusing on sustainable living space adaptations and continuous support.
