Story
As a family, we decided that it was about time we gave something back to BEAT who have provided vital support to us during a tricky couple of years.
We decided a sky dive would be a good place to start and nominated Andy to represent us as he is up for most challenges.
We really need your support to ensure he goes through with it, as we aren’t sure he was really listening when he volunteered in the first place!
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.
