Who are we?

Beat is the UK’s eating disorders charity, working every day to end the pain caused by eating disorders. From our life-saving helpline and online support programmes, to training for schools and campaigning for change at government level, we’re here to make sure no one faces this alone and to ensure that recovery is always possible.

Whether you’re struggling yourself or supporting someone you love, Beat is here to help you find a way through. We are a champion, guide and friend to anyone affected, providing a space where people feel heard, supported and empowered. 💜

Why your support matters:

Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses, but with the right support, recovery is possible.

Beat receives no central government funding, meaning every pound raised helps us continue to deliver vital services to those who need them most. Your support helps us answer more calls, reach more people, and provide hope when it’s needed most.

Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference.

💜 Donate what you can to support life-changing services.
