Here for you

Eating disorders - we're here for you

We’re Beat – the UK’s leading eating disorder charity.

Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses that can affect anyone. Right now, at least 1 in 50 people in the UK suffer with an eating disorder – and the emotional and physical damage affects millions of loved ones.

But there is hope.

With better understanding, faster diagnosis and proper treatment, recovery is possible. That’s why we’re here.

We offer people emotional support and expert advice, we work alongside healthcare professionals and we campaign tirelessly to change policies, perceptions and lives.

Together, we’ll end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders.

If you are worried about yourself or someone you know, our Helplines are here for you.

Eating disorders can affect anyone. It might not be who you expect.
