Heart Your Body Charitable Trust
Heart Your Body Charitable Trust is a not for profit organization whose purpose is to help people cultivate positive body image and strong mental health . Through scholarships, seminars, workshops, and making donations to select organizations also working in the eating disorder field we empower people how to combat negative internal and external messages that prevent them from being comfortable in their skin. We also provide support to parents and siblings of those with ED.
HeartYourBodyCharitable Trust strives to make advancements in Eating Disorder awareness and the possibilities for total recovery. Our recent engagements include:
1. Supporting legislation where schools depart from sending home unhelpful statistics on BMI and instead share material on signs of ED.
