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 also 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. These volunteers use their experience to support Beat and external projects which aim to improve the lives of those with eating disorders.
If you have Lived Experience of having/caring for a loved one we would love to hear from you.
