Mission

Wednesday’s Child is a not for profit organisation, founded to help increase education and support in the area of eating disorders. Some 1.6 million people are thought to ‘formally be diagnosed with an eating disorder. Our belief, however, is that many more live in the shadows, with ‘disordered eating’, and challenged by the stigma still attached to this illness. In fact, eating disorders carry the highest mortality rate of any mental health condition – via suicide or organ failure. In times of stretched statutory resources and mounting social pressures leading to an increase in body image issues, we were driven to create Wednesday’s Child – born in part through 20 years of lived experience – because we know how desperate families are becoming in a bid to find support, and how short of solutions healthcare practitioners are. We provide a variety of educational and recovery support services, including: One-2-one coaching Supportive suppers Recovery focused workshops (nutrition / self esteem) Wellbeing boxes Training for schools, healthcare professionals, businesses and parents.
