Thank you for asking us for help

This is a short form that aims to work out what kind of help is best for us to give you.

Please note that we currently have one programme that can directly support people with Binge Eating Disorder.


The rest of our programmes are for Adults (18+) who are:
  • Supporting a person (who is an adult or child) with eating difficulties

Some of our support programmes are only available in certain parts of the UK. 

Our fundraising team work hard to unlock these programmes to be available everywhere, but it is possible that we may not be able to offer you support through one of our programmes if your location is not yet funded.
We may not be able to provide the support you have asked for

Important Information Before You Apply

At Beat, our priority is to ensure that everyone who accesses our programmes receives the right level of care and support for their needs, in a way that is safe and effective. Our programmes are designed as low-intensity, guided self-help interventions delivered online. This means that while they can be highly supportive for many people, there are some circumstances where a higher level of medical or specialist input is needed alongside or instead of what we can offer.

 

Because of this, we’re unable to offer our support programmes at this time if you:

  • Are currently pregnant – we recognise this can be a particularly sensitive time, and you’re welcome to re-apply once your pregnancy and postnatal recovery are complete.
  • Have Type 1 diabetes, as this requires regular medical monitoring and coordinated multidisciplinary care that our online programmes cannot safely provide.
  • Are currently taking weight loss medication or actively following a weight-loss programme – to access our support, you would need to have stopped this, in discussion with your prescriber or healthcare team.

We understand this may be disappointing to hear. This decision is not a reflection of your motivation to seek help or the seriousness of your experience; rather, it’s part of our safeguarding responsibility to ensure that everyone receives the right support in the safest way possible.


If any of the above apply to you, we’d encourage you to discuss your options with your GP or healthcare provider, who can help you find a service that offers the level of medical or specialist input you may need right now.


You’re also welcome to return to Beat at a later stage if your circumstances change, and we will be glad to explore which of our services might then be most appropriate for you.
