Bringing hope this Christmas
For many, the holiday season is a time of celebration. But for those living with eating difficulties or disorders, it can be one of the hardest times of the year. Food-focused gatherings, disrupted routines, and social pressures can make living with an eating disorder feel even more challenging.
This Christmas, you can help First Steps ED bring hope, choice, and comfort to those who need it most. Every donation makes a difference, and by helping fund vital counselling services, workshops, and our award-winning Befriending programme, you’re helping offer care and connection to anyone of any age affected by eating disorders.
A season for kindness & connection.
This time of year, small acts of kindness matter more than ever. Your support allows us to offer a safe space for anyone who feels lost, anxious or disconnected; it helps our counsellors, befrienders and volunteers reach people at their most vulnerable moments, providing comfort and understanding when everything else feels too much.
Pip’s Legacy Christmas Appeal.
This year marks ten years of Pip’s legacy. What began as a family’s wish to honour her kindness has become a source of steady support for people living with long-standing eating difficulties. Pip’s Place: Next Steps was created to make sure that no one feels left without once specialist services come to an end.
How your support helps.
Your donation this Christmas will help us keep this lifeline in place. It will allow us to run support groups every fortnight, strengthen our team of specialists, and reach more people who would otherwise be facing these challenges alone.
Every contribution, large or small, helps keep Pip’s legacy alive for those who need it most.
Show your support today.
By making a donation or setting up a regular gift today, you can help keep Pip’s Place: Next Steps open for the people who rely on it. Your support helps us provide calm, steady sessions for those living with long-standing eating difficulties, along with access to specialist guidance that many can no longer find elsewhere.
Every contribution strengthens a service built on compassion and understanding, and it helps us reach more people who need a safe community to turn to.
