Eating Disorders Awareness Week | 24 Feb – 2 Mar 2025
Right now, at least 1.25 million people in the UK are living with an eating disorder—that’s more than 1 in 50 people. But the real number could be even higher.
Eating disorders like ARFID, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and OSFED are complex mental health conditions that are often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or overlooked, making it harder for people to seek help.
It’s not just those affected who struggle—families and friends often become carers, feeling powerless as they watch a loved one battle their illness.
This week, we’ll be sharing advice and resources to help you or someone you know find the right support.
