Here's a sneaky preview of what to expect! Watch our superstar skydiver Rebecca take on the Big Jump for Beat last year 🪂💜
“How does jumping out of a plane help Beat” we hear you ask? Let’s take a look.
- £15 enables us to exchange emails with someone with an eating disorder, guiding them on their recovery journey
- £25 pays for us to answer a Helpline call from someone who feels they have nowhere to turn.
- £69 enables us to run an online peer support group for people to share their experiences and feel understood
- £100 means we can provide webchat support to four young people, helping them take their first steps towards recovery.

Soaring through the skies
