Who we are
Beat is the UK’s eating disorder charity. We exist to end the pain and suffering and loss of life among people affected by eating disorders:
We help them to understand their illness, support them to get treatment and help them towards recovery. We help families and carers know how best to support a loved one into, through and out of treatment. And we train teachers, health professionals and other key individuals to spot when someone is showing the early signs of an eating
