Welcome to the Orkney Eating Disorder Support Project. We are here to provide information, advice and confidential support, for anyone affected by an eating disorder. This includes those caring for someone with an eating disorder; parent/guardians, partners, siblings & other family members and friends. It is important that both sufferers and carers receive support.

The project aims to:

Eating disorders are complex, and similar to many other forms of self harm can be extremely damaging physically, mentally and emotionally. Ironically for sufferers, an eating disorder can initially be a very effective solution for coping with life’s difficulties. Whether you are a sufferer or a carer we are here to help you understand what is happening and how to get the support and help that you need to find a better solution.
