Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We continued our support zoom calls on a Thursday evening and a Saturday morning, which was attended by around 6 or 7 people.
We supported more Eating Disorder sufferers on a 1:1 basis via telephone, text and email. They reported that our support service was better than anything else they had been offered and gave them so much hope to live an eating disordered free life in the future. Two has even gone on to volunteer for us.
We continue to raise awareness via social media platforms, which grows in followers daily.
We started the long processes of putting together a Young Persons Programme, designed to help people under 18 to gain an understanding of what is going on for them and how to navigate treatment and recovery as a source of an early intervention service. This will hopefully be launched in the next year or 2, as we want to make sure we get it right before rolling out a pilot programme,
We put together a training sessions for professionals to assist with the early intervention of young people and vulnerable adults they may encounter who are struggling with disordered eating.
Information and invites have been sent out to schools and universities in the local area to attend these professional sessions via zoom.
We put together a training session for parents friends and carers of anyone who has someone in their life with disordered eating. Attendees have been lined up for the next year.
We attempted to set up a parents, friends, family and carers support group via zoom but they have yet to take off. Maybe after the training sessions.
We continue to offer support to both the sufferer, parents and carers via phone, email and text message.
