At TEDS, our events help bring people together – raising awareness, offering support and creating opportunities to connect. Whether we are attending conferences, hosting drop-ins or taking part in community awareness events, each one helps us reach more people affected by eating disorders.

TEDS Charity Gala

The Botanic Room, Devonshire House Hotel, Liverpool

June 2026

Merseyside Woman of the Year Awards

Crowne Plaza Hotel, Liverpool Waterfront

TEDS was honoured to be invited to the MWOTY Awards by Rae Brookes, CEO of the Community Foundation for Merseyside.

The event was incredibly heartwarming, with the stories of the nominated women proving both inspirational and deeply moving. Their achievements, resilience and dedication were truly remarkable—at times jaw-dropping—and left everyone feeling uplifted.

For TEDS, the awards also provided a fantastic opportunity to network and introduce our organisation to others. It was particularly reassuring to meet representatives from organisations who were already familiar with TEDS and the work we do. Knowing that TEDS is recognised and respected within the local community was a proud reminder of the positive impact our organisation continues to make.

Family Support Wellbeing Day

Clubmoor Children’s Centre, Liverpool

The day was aimed at family support and wellbeing and, so, our involvement was very relevant. As we all know, a family member battling an eating disorder involves not only the sufferer but the entire family unit. We always try and encourage self-care and self-compassion for families as their loved one struggles with the relentless mental illness that is an eating disorder.

Awareness that any eating disorder is a long-term issue is essential, and therefore self-care is crucial. Our stall attracted a lot of interest, and we heard stories of struggles on many levels. We were able to empathise with lived personal experiences. As it was a family-focused event, we were able to signpost interested parties to our meetings for both sufferers and carers and we also encouraged the carers who spoke to us to explore our recommended and much thumbed copy of “Caring for a Loved One …Janet Treasure”.

In the interests of protecting confidentiality, no names, but stories ranged from a beautiful soul, still in recovery, who is fully aware of what she was putting her single-parent mum through when she was in the darkest place in the grip of her eating disorder. The sufferer wishes she could have directed her mum to a source of help and support at the time. Sadly her mum passed away during Covid, and, for the sufferer, it was a deep regret that, firstly, she could not see her daughter battling through this illness, and, secondly, that there was no means of support for her mum. The message here is that there is a source of help and support for those supporting someone with a eating disorder and we simply need to get the message out there! We also heard from a lovely Nan whose entire family is consumed with how to accommodate the needs of a young family member with ARFID. We were able to signpost to our website, featuring a brilliant, concise and informative paper on the subject, written by Nicky McGrath who has a lifetime of lived experience. These stories only scratch the surface and so, yes, we will keep pitching up and raising awareness and offering a safe space to, well, yes, TALK ! TEDS Talking Eating Disorder, the clue is in the title!!!

Neurodiversity Week

Palm House, Sefton Park, Liverpool

This event was hosted by Neurodiverse Family Support, and the free drop-in event which took place was part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week.  TEDS was invited to attend, alongside a range of other specialist services.  It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with families in our community, have meaningful conversations about ARFID and a range of eating disorders, and, with our range of supportive literature and publications, we could share and support those affected and those in a caring role. 

We were pleased to offer guidance, raise awareness, and be a part of such a positive and supportive event.  The event was very well attended, both because of the beautiful environment and also because of the fabulous weather which meant that people were milling around and were happy to call in and explore what we were all about!

Eating Disorder Awareness Week Drop-In

Clubmoor Children’s Centre, Liverpool

This drop in event proved to be very popular.

As we all know, the process of acknowledging, working through, and recovering from an eating disorder is a long and often relentless journey. It can take many twists and turns, and this was beautifully illustrated when Leigh unexpectedly met someone she had supported many years ago. We are delighted to share that she has gone on to make a full recovery, rebuild her life, and is now the proud mother of a beautiful baby daughter. It was an emotional and incredibly special reunion for Leigh.

Stories like this remind us that change is possible. Recovery is real, and there is always hope.

The facility also included a small private room, allowing us to offer one-to-one consultations in a safe and confidential environment. This proved invaluable on the day, as some individuals and carers find group settings challenging and benefit more from a quieter, more personal space

TEDS 25th Anniversary Christmas Event

Liverpool Beatles Museum, Mathew Strett, Liverpool

Celebrating 25 wonderful years of TEDS with a festive gathering was a fantastic opportunity for volunteers and families to come together, share special moments, and enjoy each other’s company.

The atmosphere was full of joy, laughter, and plenty of dancing — a truly memorable celebration for everyone involved!

Eating Disorders Conference

Quaker Meeting House, Liverpool

Our Eating Disorders conference was a great success, raising awareness of the dangers of eating disorders. More holistic approaches to treatment were discussed along with the latest research and innovative workshops and discussions. 

New research from Liverpool John Moore’s University’s Associate Professor Samatha Brooks was also highlighted on the day as part of an initiative by TEDS dedicated to improving treatment of eating disorders, raise awareness and support all those families
