"VERY engaging. The best training I've been on yet." Hoarding Training with Cheshire East Council, March 2026

Joan

As with all of my updates, I’d like to thank the cohort of learners from Cheshire East Council who attended my Hoarding training, ‘Trapped and Drowning in My Things’ on Monday. We had a rip-roaring day, and it was lovely having such an enthusiastic group who were UP for the day’s challenges. My new look course has a few more hints and tips thrown into the mix and the learners certainly enjoyed practising some of these things. The box game is a hit! They threw themselves into each activity and it was heartening to hear such lovely comments throughout the day.

Below, you will find some of the collated feedback, as always, 100% positive:
