Hi! My name is Abi, I have Autism, ADHD, and Binge Eating Disorder.
I have had a terrible ordeal with the eating disorder service in my area, and unfortunately, I haven't heard any good stories from anyone else who has had contact with them.
My aim is to start a charity which can offer psychological help for individuals with an eating disorder who are struggling to get help from their eating disorder service. I want to be able to offer them the therapy that suits them, be it talking therapy, CBT, or a support worker to help with daily living for a set amount of time.
I'll be looking to gain funds via fundraising events and donors who can help. Eating disorders need more awareness globally, not just in the UK. More support is needed and better treatment options. I want this charity to also raise awareness, not just about eating disorders but about the lack of treatment from services.
The money raised will help establish this charity. It will pay for counselling services for any individuals we can help. It will build a future for the charity and hopefully support individuals for a very long time.
Thank you for your help, it means the world.
