How You Can Help

This is a fluid page that will change depending what activities we are currently working on. These are some ways to help if you are interested. 

Fundraiser for Bodywhys

As part of our goal for Eating Disorders Action Day, we wanted to set up a fundraiser for Bodywhys, the eating disorders association of Ireland, to help fund more support services.

 

Bodywhys has gone a long way to fill in gaps in healthcare services by providing helplines, education, and support to families and sufferers of eating disorders.

 

Eating Disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental health illness, and early interventions for both sufferers and parents can go a long way in improving recovery outcomes.

 

In order to be able to offer more services, Bodywhys needs more funding.

 

Several ideas of services they would like to offer are:

  • Meal coaching webinars (learning techniques to help a loved one with an eating disorder restore their relationship with themselves and with food).

  • In-person Maudsley workshops (skills to support recovery, obtaining a better understanding of a loved one with an eating disorder, and learning new communication skills).

  • Themed support groups for carers, such as a how to support someone on the autism spectrum who has an eating disorder, someone in the LGBTQ community, etc.

 

Our goal is to raise €30,000 to help them achieve some of these targets.

 

Please can you help us reach this goal?

 

Thank you :)
