Why your support matters

Hand drawn underline

SYEDA is a regional charity supporting individuals affected by eating disorders, alongside their families and friends, across South Yorkshire. As a proud member of the Regional Eating Disorders Charities Alliance and Network, every donation helps change the wider healthcare system through collaboration and shared insight. Operating from our base in Sheffield and extending into Barnsley, Rotherham, and Doncaster, we treat approximately 1,000 clients annually. We offer Brief CBT, Counselling, Occupational Therapy, Support Groups, and a dedicated ARFID programme for young people. We actively welcome men, boys, older adults, LGBTQ+ communities, and neurodivergent individuals, reflecting our commitment to systemic equity.

Every fundraiser is unique, and we’re always inspired by the creativity and commitment of our supporters. No matter the size of your event, every pound raised helps SYEDA continue making a difference to the lives of individuals and families affected by eating disorders.

If you’re interested in fundraising for SYEDA, we’d love to hear your ideas and support you along the way. Please get in touch at info@syeda.org.uk.

Did You Know?

  • 1 in 20 people will struggle with disordered eating in their lives.
  • Eating distress can emerge during periods of challenging circumstances, trauma, or due to wider inequalities and diet culture.
  • We treat 200 people monthly through our dedicated therapeutic services.
  • £1.53 per person per day is the remarkably low cost to deliver our life-changing, person-centred care.
  • £2.4 Million is saved annually for local NHS services by providing timely early intervention, which actively reduces severe pressure on national NHS waiting lists.

Our support ethos

  • Person-Centred and Safe: Care is tailored to individual needs, focusing on long-term mental and physical wellbeing.
  • Trauma-Informed: Our staff possess a vital mix of lived and professional experience, ensuring all support and fundraising guidance is deeply trauma-informed.
  • Body-Neutral and Trigger-Free: We promote cognitive flexibility and self-compassion without focusing on physical appearance.
  • Accessible and Collaborative: Services are free at the point of delivery so financial hardship is never a barrier to recovery.
  • Digital Transformation: Funds help support vital digital upgrades, allowing clients to seamlessly combine face-to-face and online support from home.

Your Supporter Welfare

When planning an event, your welfare always comes first, and you never have to share private medical histories, specific numbers, or diagnoses. Our team ensures that movement is always celebrated for health, connection, and wellbeing, and never for physical exertion, weight loss, or punishment.
