Welcome to the young people's website

Here you will find information about eating disorders, how to get help and how to help someone you know with an eating disorder.

Young people have helped us to create this site, they have made suggestions, sent in articles and are constantly reviewing the site.

To help you find your way around this we have created a page that lists the contents of each section click here

David Samuel is an amazing young man.  He has fulfilled his dream to qualify as a Doctor - despite his struggle with anorexia.  Watch David's message of hope to all young men and women, he tells how you can beat an eating disorder.

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
