**About Mind**

Society’s attitude to mental health is being transformed, and Mind is at the forefront of that change.

Together, we’re keeping mental health at the heart of political agendas, improving public attitudes and supporting millions of people experiencing a mental health problem. Last year alone, we reached over 390,000 people through our local Mind services, whilst Time to Change - our campaign in partnership with Rethink Mental Illness - has seen a 12.7% improvement in attitudes towards people experiencing mental health problems since 2008.

But we won’t stop until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect. We are leading the way in wellbeing at work, reaching over 1 million employees in the last three years, and we will continue to play a central role in holding government to account in England and Wales, demanding the successful delivery of national mental health strategies so that everybody, in every community, feels the benefits.

Together, we’ll keep challenging attitudes, influencing government and supporting our diverse community of people those of us experiencing a mental health problem.

**Our vision-**We won’t give up until everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets both support and respect.

**Our mission-**We provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. We campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding.

**About Cornwall Mind**

Cornwall Mind was formed by the merger of two smaller Mind organisations in 2020. We are an **independent **CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) responsible for its own income generation and governance. We are aligned with the vision and values of National Mind set out above as part of the Mind Federation.

**We provide opportunities for recovery from mental ill-health and maintaining wellbeing for the People of Cornwall.**

About the Project:
The RSPCA Cornwall Branch have identified that animal hoarding is a complex problem that their caseworkers are increasingly coming across in their daily work. It can cost the RSPCA thousands of pounds each year to treat and support the animals that are discovered in hoarding situations.

Animal hoarding is a serious public health issue that affects entire communities.
- 75% of people with animal hoarding disorder have comorbid mood and anxiety disorders (DSM-V).
- Animal hoarding is often more complex than object hoarding because of the underlying motivation.
- The most common species of animals hoarded are cats and dogs, although it is possible to hoard any type of animal.

Cornwall Mind and RSPCA Cornwall Branch have joined together to deliver a pilot project to gain valuable knowledge of this complex problem and develop ways of offering support to both the owners and their animals.

**Key Objectives**
- To promote the pilot project to a wide range of stakeholders and interested parties across the animal, health and social care system and beyond.
- To develop robust active links and work closely with the RSPCA Caseworkers, Adult Social Care, GPs, Mental Health Teams and housing providers to facilitate joint working on safe and effective care and support to people with complex needs.
- To be able to build a rapport with individuals on a 1-2-1 basis to encourage animal ownership that is healthy, safe and sustainable for the person and their animals.
- To ensure the gathering of evaluation data to assess the effectiveness of the pilot project.

**Main responsibilities**

1. To deliver the project aims, initiatives and services to time and in a person-focused, cost-effective way.

2. Work closely and collaboratively with the RSPCA.

3. Build a trusting and collaborative relationship with the client encouraging animal ownership that is healthy, safe and sustainable for the person and their animals.

4. Co - produce/update, and implement a workable plan, relapse prevention and other self-management tools in partnership with clients and the RSPCA Caseworkers,

5. To contribute to monthly, quarterly and annual reports for the service including quantitative and qualitative information showing the benefits delivered.

6. To plan, prioritise and organise effectively.

7. To record all client activity on Lamplight (CMS) on time and it is processed in line with Mind’s and funders policies and procedures.

8. To ensure that all company policies and procedures are adhered to and set a personal example in implementing Health & Safety, Data Security & Protection, Safeguarding & Equal Opportunities policies.

9. To undertake all work respecting the need for confidentiality in line with Cornwall Mind’s policies and procedures.
