Our Lived Experience Volunteers are a group of diverse individuals that share their story to bring hope and inspiration to those affected by eating disorders. They educate those that work with those with eating disorders and have a key role in outreach to communities and professions that do not currently access Beat support. These volunteers support people to feel connected to Beat’s purpose and inspire listeners to take action to end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders.
Lived Experience Volunteers share their lived experience of eating disorders to show that recovery is possible. Each engagement is different and so it is crucial that you as the organiser have a chat with the volunteer before the engagement to find out the needs of the audience so that this can be tailored.
