I am a member of APDO, the Association of Professional Declutterers & Organisers. APDO represents the UK decluttering and organising industry. Founded in 2004, it is now a thriving professional community with over 400 verified experts across the UK. APDO is a not-for-profit association, funded entirely by membership fees and income generated through activities such as our training programme and sponsorship. Much of the organisation’s work is performed by members on a voluntary basis. The Board is made up entirely of APDO professional organisers. We have connections with sister organisations all over the world and are a member of IFPOA International Federation of Professional Organising Associations. All APDO members subscribe to their Code of Ethics; implicitly by their active membership. As part of APDO membership, I am also registered under the Information Commissioner’s Office as a data controller (reference no. ZA818276) to ensure adherence to data protection laws.
