S.E.E.D. (Support and
Education for Eating Disorders)
S.E.E.D. (Support and Education for Eating Disorders) is a registered charity based in Preston and was founded in 2007 to provide a network of support for sufferers of eating/food/weight related issues and their family members, carers, friends etc
We are the only service of this kind in Lancashire, with SEED providing information, advice, education, resources, training and practical help for anyone affected by eating distress.
SEED is an organisation based around Christian values. We are a volunteer led organisation, consisting of volunteers who have a passion for eating disorders and helping others. Some of our volunteers have recovered from eating disorders themselves or have previously been carers for those with an eating disorder.
We strongly believe that people suffering with an eating disorder can get better, and that full recovery is possible.
Our services provide opportunities for those in need to come and speak to our experienced and passionate volunteers in a friendly, relaxed and confidential atmosphere, providing them with any information, resources or support they require.
We acknowledge that the symptoms of eating disorders are an expression of deeper emotional need, and we believe that there is help available and this help should be freely accessible. SEED is self help focused and aims to foster healthy lifestyles towards achieving independence and improved quality of life.
