GEDS is dedicated to presenting an accurate representation of our team and volunteers at all times.
Each team member has had various experiences with eating disorders through first person personal experiences, supporting friends and family members or clinical work. Each volunteer has a different professional background although all have previously worked for different charities in the area of eating disorders and have a range of professional, clinical and voluntary experience.
Our volunteers take two main roles. For confidentiality reasons and to protect the privacy of our volunteers we do not state this for each individual on the website but will be stated at group.
Support Stems - These are volunteers who have professional or secondary (through care giving and supportive experiences of family and friends) experiences of eating disorders. The facilitate groups and offer input from their experiences of supporting people in their past.
Recovery Roots - These are volunteers who have first hand, personal experiences of an eating disorder. The offer their own insights of recovery and share experiences of what helped them in their journey.
