Step Out - Beat

Eating disorders affect countless lives but, with the right treatment and support, recovery is possible. On Monday 2 June it’s World Eating Disorder Action Day, we’re asking you to Step Out on a walk in support of those facing their own struggles and in hope that together we can make a difference.

When: Saturday 31 May – Sunday 8 June 2025

We’ll be walking together on World Eating Disorder Action Day on Monday 2 June. Can’t join that day? You can step out with your friends and family any day between Saturday 31 May and Sunday 8 June.

Steps to Take Part:

Pick a route; walk somewhere special to you or pick a local route you love returning to or have always intended to explore, the distance doesn’t matter!
Select a date that works for you and will give you plenty of time to complete your walk without feeling rushed.
Invite friends and family and make it a time to be together

Why not consider wearing something in a shade of purple, Beat’s colour, as part of your walk? Don’t forget to order any materials you’d like to use to promote your plans, we’ve got balloons and flags you could take with you and literature you could hand out to help raise awareness.

Interested in participating in Step Out? Share your details via our form and we’ll be in touch
