Here at beat our fundraisers play a vital role.
It is thanks to their commitment that we can continue to provide services to those affected by eating disorders. Currently, our services reach thousands of people everyday - with your help, they can grow and reach more.
On these pages, you'll find information on becoming a beat fundraiser but if you have any questions please do give me a call or send me an email.
Thanks - and good luck with your fundraising.

Alix to tackle historic challenge
beat fundraiser Alix Robertson has decided to swim the famous Gibraltar Strait - and raise thousands of pounds for people affected by eating disorders.
The Strait of Gibraltar is a narrow strip of water connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. Since the 1920s, only two women have swum the strait. In September, Alix and her friend Camilla are hoping to double that figure and raise as much money as possible for beat.
