A NEW support group to help people with eating disorders and their families, friends or carers is being established in the Isle of Man.
The new group, the island’s first such organisation, is called the Manx Eating Disorders Support Group and has been publicised with a poster campaign around the island.
The idea has spent months at the planning and preparation stage after organisers realised there was a demand for such a group on the island.
The plan is to expand the group into two in the future, depending on demand and number of volunteers available to help.
The group will be affiliated with B-EAT (Beating Eating Disorders), which is a UK charity that provides helplines, a network of UK-wide self-help groups and online support to help adults and young people beat their eating disorders.
