In the UK, at least 1.25 million people are living with an eating disorder That’s at least 1 in 50 people.  And yet many people wouldn’t know how to spot the signs that someone has an eating disorder. This is important because the sooner someone is treated for an eating disorder the better their chance of making a full recovery.

Our campaign aims to reach new audiences with the message that eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that can affect anyone - at any age, gender, or background - at any time.

So join us to raise awareness of this serious mental health condition and let people know that anyone can be affected by an eating disorder.
