We have done research on the training needed around Eating Disorders within our local community and beyond.

We know that training is important to update skills, knowledge and understanding, but its also proven to be an effective tool for active prevention, detection and support for those with all types of Eating Disorders.

We offer training to all Health and Education Professionals, School Nurses, Youth and Community workers, other agencies working within their community.

We see from the responses from our local schools the need for workshops and PSHE sessions on Eating Disorders but we also realise the restrictions of funding available within schools to use this service. In response to this circle of need/funding problem, we feel we may be able to offer a solution to schools within our local area where our services will be affordable with minimum effort and without eating into each school’s tight budget.

We propose that in order to benefit from our services, each school could hold a ‘Mufti-Day’ once per year and depending on how much is raised would receive services on the following sliding-scale:
