WHAT IS EATING DISORDERS AWARENESS WEEK?

A very good question!
Eating Disorders Awareness Week takes place every year, a theme is set and they ask the community to get involved. This year their theme is COMMUNITY.
Join us them:
Monday 23 February 2026 - Sunday 1 March 2026

Eating Disorders Awareness Week is run by Beat – the UK’s eating disorder charity.
Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses that can affect anyone. Right now, at least 1 in 50 people
in the UK have an eating disorder – and the emotional and physical toll also affects millions of loved
ones. But there is hope.
With better understanding, faster diagnosis and proper treatment, recovery is possible. That’s why we’re
here. We’re here when people need us most, empowering them to take the steps they need towards
recovery. We support those around them, so they know what to do to help. And we work to stop others
being affected in the future. Together, we'll change lives.

This Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2026 we are raising awareness about the important role Community plays in helping someone feel supported.
