WHO WE ARE

Dump the Scales is a campaign is for anybody and everybody who cares about eating disorders and wants to change the way they are treated, as well as the stigmas, stereotypes and judgments often associated with them.

We are a diverse group of carers, clinicians, researchers and individuals with lived experience, all united by a shared mission to end the injustices faced by those affected by eating disorders.

We collaborate with other eating disorder charities, work closely with the government, and engage with MPs across all political parties to advocate for meaningful reforms.

 

Together, we strive to create a more inclusive, supportive, accessible and compassionate world for everyone affected by eating disorders.

WHAT WE DO

  • We work with the media to raise awareness of eating disorders, and the difficulties people face in getting support and treatment. 

​

  • We run the annual Dump the Scales March to bring together supporters from across the UK to demand better services and put an end to the neglect faced by people struggling with eating disorders. 

​

  • We run a network of people with lived experience, clinicians, researchers, parents and carers all united by a burning desire to create a more compassionate world for people with eating disorders.
