Eating disorder sufferers face an average wait of three and a half years for specialist treatment. 

We need you to dig out your brightest, boldest socks this Eating Disorders Awareness Week. Ask your workplace, school, or university to stand up and Sock It to Eating Disorders. By wearing your socks and donating to Beat, you play a vital role in ending the pain and suffering caused. It’s that simple.

“You really have made my first step to recovery that little bit easier. Thank you so very much.” Youthline caller.

We know that the sooner someone gets help, the faster they can recover, lessening the impact on their life, family and future.Beat provides training to help GPs and teachers spot the early signs and symptoms, and empowers them with the knowledge to support someone who is unwell. Our essential Helplines and online support groups give sufferers and their loved ones a place to feel listened to and supported – and it’s only possible because of fundraisers like you. 

“Without the support of Beat, things would have been much harder.”
