Beat Eating disorders

Beat is the UK’s eating disorder charity. We began life in 1989 as the first national charity for people with eating disorders because of a merger of two local charities. Called the Eating Disorders Association, we have grown and developed over time to become Beat.

We are a champion, guide and friend to anyone affected by eating disorders, giving individuals experiencing an eating disorder and their loved ones a place where they feel listened to, supported and empowered.

Beat is a charity registered in England and Wales (801343) and Scotland (SC039309). Beat is the identity of the Eating Disorders Association, and became our working name in February 2007. Eating Disorders Association remains our legally registered charity name. Eating Disorders Association is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales under number 2368495, with registered offices at Unit 1, 19 Rosary Road, Norwich NR1 1SZ.
