We've changed thousands of lives affected by eating disorders this year.
I rang Beat last night [and] you helped me immensely. Today is a better day. The anxiety of yesterday has passed. After speaking to you, I was able to tell my husband that I was struggling and feeling overwhelmed. I feel so lucky to have your support at this time.
Thanks to you, anyone who is worried about themselves or a loved one can contact our Helpline services 3-8pm, Monday-Friday, so no one has to face an eating disorder alone.
Thanks to you, going to the doctor about eating disorder symptoms isn’t so scary because people know that help and recovery is possible.

For me, Beat has been more than just a charitable organisation. It has been that friendly voice at the end of the phone on the days that I couldn't face eating, it has been the place of safety for my family and friends who were trying to figure out how they could help and support me, and, most importantly, it has always advocated recovery.
