The charity was set up in 2014 by her family in memory of Linda Tremble, who sadly lost her battle with anorexia
nervosa in 2011.
Since 2019 we have expanded to become Scotland’s leading community eating disorder charity and now hold
support group meetings for people over 18 with eating disorders and for parents, carers and families in Ayrshire,
Fife, Forth Valley, Glasgow, Highland, Lanarkshire, Perth, Edinburgh and Tayside.
We also offer an in person or online befriending service for people who are struggling with an eating disorder.
In the future our strategy is to expand into other areas in Scotland so that we can ensure that everyone in
Scotland affected by an eating disorder gets support and respect in the heart of their community.
The charity’s work is underpinned by five values that guide how we behave and make decisions; supportive,
accessible, inclusive, dedicated and professional.
