Dump The Scales Eating Disorder March

The increase in people struggling with eating disorders in the last few years is shocking and catastrophic.

The figures alone are not creating action. This is where we need every single person who cares about the disastrous impact of eating disorders.

We must be the action.

In addition to the devastating impact to people’s lives, eating disorders are a hugely stigmatised illness.

They are an insidious and dangerous mental illness that has complex roots and manifestations. One that affects individuals, family, friends & relationships with a horrifying impact.

Eating disorders are the deadliest mental illnesses but the funding and support they receive has never met the demand.

The government blame the pandemic for the rise in people of all ages, receiving treatment. This ignores the reality, which is due to a lifetime of underfunding of services and research. They have undertaken dangerous health initiatives such as calorie counting on menus. Action that has normalised disordered eating and worsened the problem.

Enough is enough! We cannot and will not let eating disorders be ignored anymore!

Join us on April 18th 2026 to walk for our loved ones and those we have lost, to march for future generations because no one should by dying of an eating disorder, no one should be marked as untreatable and it is time these injustices ended!!
