As many of you know Beat is a charity close to my heart, not only because I work for it, but because it has supported me, my family and lots of friends.  Eating disorders are particularly brutal illnesses, both physically and mentally.  They don't just affect an individual, but all their family and friends. They take years to recover from. Food and weight really are just the start of recovery.  

This year, Beat has seen a huge increase in the numbers of people needing our support due to Covid-19, but we have also seen our funds decrease dramatically.  As part of the London marathon 2.6 challenge Beat staff have volunteered to keep the helpline open for 26.2 hours this Sunday.  I have been trained up so I can help out too!  If you would like to support us please click on the link below. Any amount is hugely helpful!
