Christmas Raffle 

Tickets are 2 for £10 or 5 for £20 and if purchased online through this page, you must supply your full name when making the donation as anonymous donations cannot be supplied with a raffle ticket.

Unfortunately you are not able to include gift aid in this donation. 

We will be drawing the prizes on Thursday 17 December 2020 at 3pm.

This unfortunately rings close to home as one of our own sadly lost his daughter to anorexia nervosa in August 2020. 

Around 1.25 million people in the UK suffer from these illnesses, many in secret. They are of all ages, genders and backgrounds – eating disorders do not discriminate. Eating disorders include bulimia, binge eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED), and anorexia, which tragically has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, though all eating disorders can be deadly.

While this is the worst-case scenario, there are many ways in which eating disorders severely affect the quality of life of both those suffering and those who care about them. They steal childhoods, devastate relationships and pull families apart. But, with the right treatment and support, recovery is possible.

The work BEAT do means that every year lives are saved, families are kept together, and people are able to live free of eating disorders.

Your continued support is greatly appreciated.
