Welcome to the young people's website

beat Young Ambassadors and Advisors

This exciting scheme gives young people affected by eating disorders the opportunity of taking a more active part in the life of beat.

We need your help in becoming the voice of young people, being heard in a range of settings including national conferences, in newspapers and on television and in major research and government consultations.

"Working with beat has given me much comfort, release, confidence and acknowledgement that one person alone may not be able to shift such barriers, but as a team... together... you can build up the friendship, courage, strength, support, ideas, will and self worth to keep fighting to break down the myths and gain treatment, care and respect for someone who has been affected by this serious illness. Together we can beat eating disorders." - Young Ambassador

Ambassadors can also work towards gaining a Youth Achievement Award
