There are 1.25 million people in the UK living with an eating disorder right now. But as you may know from your own experiences, eating disorders affect many more lives. In fact, we estimate this figure to come to around 5 million people all mums, dads, families and friends.

However, the good news is that our strength lies in our numbers. So thank you for joining us. We can all make a difference individually, but imagine what we can do together. It could be amazing and we can help many more people get the support they need.

When we speak out about eating disorders, we give others the strength to reach for help, challenge the stigma and seek the treatment they deserve. We know talking openly about your experiences can be scary, but well be here to support you every step of the way. The best place to share your story is on your JustGiving page.
