Fundraising at School
Fundraising at your school is an amazing way of raising awareness. You can help us continue to be there for people affected by eating disorders.
There are loads of different ways to fundraise for Beat. So why not sign up to fundraise, raise awareness and have some fun.
School staff are some of the best placed people to spot the early signs and give pupils they’re worried about support to get better.
School-age children are at a particularly high risk of developing eating disorders, with the pressures and transitions that come as part of school life among the possible triggers for these serious mental illnesses.
