Beat is the UK’s leading eating disorder charity.Eating disorders are widely misunderstood and stigmatised illnesses, so we work to change this at every level.
We campaign for positive change for people who are suffering so that they can get the help they need and deserve as quickly as possible, because we know that the faster they get treatment, the greater their chance of full recovery. We run and assist with research to learn more about what causes eating disorders and how best to treat them.
