Support Us

Your support will make a huge difference for somebody’s recovery journey.

An estimated 104,000 people across the South West live with eating disorders. With the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, the growing number of people affected by eating disorders and disordered eating is of urgent concern to us.

We know that early intervention and rapid access to specialist support is the most effective way to restore livelihoods and save lives. However, as you may know from personal experience, it can be incredibly difficult to access the right kind of support when you’re living with an eating disorder. SWEDA is determined to be there for the people who fall through the gaps. 

We are the only charity in the South & West of England to provide preventative and recovery focused support, which works to prevent hospitalisation and address the root causes of disordered eating. As demand for our services continues to grow, we need your help more than ever. As a charity, we’re reliant on the support of our community to be able to keep providing our specialist support services to those who have nowhere else to turn.

Your donations fund our expert-led counselling services, support groups, and educational outreach.

Whether you would like to make a cash donation, leave a gift in your will, or organise a fundraising event in your community, your support means we can be there for children, young people and adults affected by eating disorders.

Together, we can give them hope and tools for recovery.
