BEAT was formerly the Eating Disorders Association. BEAT became the working name in February 2007 but Eating Disorders Association remains the legally registered charity name.
EDA was formed in 1989 when two local charities, Anorexic Aid and Anorexic Family Aid merged to form the UK’s first national organization devoted to eating disorders. In 1992, a third charity merged with EDA – the Society for the Advancement of Research into Anorexia – SARA. We retain a commitment to supporting research by collaborating in research studies, encouraging people to take part in trials and by promoting evidence based treatment.
The Bristol Eating Disorder Peer Support Group works closely with BEAT.
