New BBC Documentary
TV presenter Jasmine Harman and her extraordinary mother Vasoulla, recently touched our nation's hearts in the critically acclaimed BBC film 'My Hoarder Mum and Me'. In telling their intimate story, we got a glimpse of the heart-breaking struggle that is Compulsive Hoarding, a condition that affects 3 million families in the UK. In making the documentary, our goal was to reflect hoarding disorder in a sensitive, respectful and realistic way - and we hope to do the same with our next film.
The production company Twofour and the BBC are now making a follow-up documentary that will revisit Vasoulla to see her progress and Jasmine will also meet and try and help other families in Britain that are struggling with hoarding.
If you are a hoarding sufferer or a family member, friend or carer of a hoarder and would like to get help through being part of this film and share your poignant story with Jasmine, please get in touch with Gemma at Twofour. t: (020) 7438 1869 email: gemma.davies@twofour.co.uk

Photographer Looking for Volunteers
I have been investigating the hoarding condition through online forums and documentaries.
I am interested in exploring hoarding behaviour through my photography. I want to photograph the homes of people who suffer it –directly or through their family members and/or friends.
With your help I hope that there will be a deeper understanding about how hoarding affects lives. To compensate for your time and willingness to participate, I am happy to take a portrait of you, your family and/or friends.
You can see my work online www.pausal.co.uk.
