‘Men Get Eating Disorders Too’ is a UK based charity dedicated to representing and supporting the needs of men with by eating disorders.

Eating disorders are typically perceived to be conditions that are suffered by only females. This is far from the case. Men of any age, background or sexuality can be affected.

Our website provides essential information that is specific to the unique needs of men and an online space for men to get their voices heard as well as offer peer support through our forum and chat room. We also campaign in the media and organise awareness raising events and training for professionals.
