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.

Support Services

Our Helplines are free and open 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. We also have online chat groups, email and one-to-one online support for adults and young people, offering them support and information about eating disorders.

Campaigning

Eating disorders can have a devastating impact on the lives of sufferers and the people around them. With all of our campaigns, we hope we can move a step closer to getting everyone with an eating disorder the early treatment they need and deserve.

Training

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 different courses are specifically designed for those who need help in spotting the signs of an eating disorder and how to care for a loved one that is suffering.

Beat receives no funding from central government, so we rely on the generosity of our supporters to help us continue our important work.
