SWEDA is a regional charity supporting people affected by eating disorders. Set
up in 1992 by a group of people with eating disorders and their loved ones,
SWEDA has grown to provide a range of services for people struggling with
Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder and more. Our services
also give support to family members and friends engaged in the difficult task of
supporting someone close to them. Our stated aim is pro-recovery. We seek to
enable and empower people to improve their mental and physical health and
wellbeing, thereby enriching their overall quality of life and helping them to
be as healthy as possible. To facilitate this, SWEDA provides a range of
services that offer information, guidance, training and support. SWEDA is
user-led and based on the principles of self-help. At the heart of the
organisation is a commitment to ensure that people who have lived experience of
eating disorders are actively encouraged to contribute to the development and
delivery of the service
