Story
Beat is the UK's eating disorders charity. They 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. I have personally used Beat's services whilst battling Anorexia and it gave me the space and resources to face my eating disorder. The 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. They run phone and email helplines 365 days a year for anyone who needs them and often when people get in touch its the first time they've voiced their concerns about themselves or a loved one. Beat has made, and is still making, a huge difference for me throughout recovery and I want to give back to ensure these fantastic services can continue to help other's with similar difficulties to myself.
