Beat aim to change the way people think about eating disorders, challenge the stigma that people with eating disorders face and campaign for better services and treatments. The charity provides helplines for adults and young people, a UK wide network of self help and support groups. Eating disorders are a serious mental illness and over 1.6 million men and woman of all ages and backgrounds in the UK are affected. One in five of the most seriously affected will die prematurely
