From raising money to campaigning for improved rights, becoming a family ambassador or joining our online community, you can help in a number of ways to create a society that fully includes children and young people with feeding and eating differences.
Run a marathon, hold a talent show, quiz or bake sale with family/friends to raise money and help transform the lives of children and young people. Our fundraisers do far more than raise money. Fundraisers:
Your contributions fund vital projects and help children, young people, their families and the community they live in.
Lobby your local MP, council and businesses to ensure children and young people with feeding and eating differences are recognised within health, educational and social sectors.
The youth and family ambassador programme helps ensure that lived experience remains at the heart of the Foundations work.
Join a safe and supportive network of like-minded people, share ideas and support each other.
We have a variety of volunteering roles, from getting involved in fundraising activities, helping out with administration, or sharing advice and offering support to families who feel isolated.
