Story
October will mark my 5 year anniversary working for Beat.
I work in the training team, ensuring that those caring for their loved ones can access training across the country. Eating disorders dont just affect those who are suffering but those who support them.
I have seen too many of my friends and my family left at a standstill due to these awful and complex illnesses. My personal experiences and dedication to Beat is what will push me over the finish line.
Your donation will help Beat to continue to deliver the incredible work they do. (if i do say so myself)
Beat is the UK's eating disorders charity. We exist to end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders. We are a champion, guide and friend to anyone affected, giving individuals experiencing an eating disorder and their loved ones a place where they feel listened to, supported and empowered.
We predict 1.25 million people are affected by these serious mental illnesses. Eating disorders can be deeply isolating for the people affected by them.
Our online support groups and training for carers allow people to talk to others with similar experiences, helping them to feel less alone with their eating disorder. We run phone and email helplines 365 days a year for anyone who needs us. Often when people get in touch its the first time they've voiced their concerns about themselves or a loved one.
