Our Aims
Our aim is to actively raise awareness of all Eating Disorders. Many Eating Disorders have a lot of stigma attached to them, due to there being a lack of awareness about them. We aim to dispel the incorrect perceptions that surround them and to highlight that an Eating Disorder is a mental illness, and at the end of the day, has little to do with food.
Short Term Aims
To educate people about the reality of Eating Disorders and to take away the glamorisation that is often associated with Eating Disorders and the misconceptions that still prevail.
Medium Term Aims
For the public, the media, and those in the medical profession to recognise that all Eating Disorders are mental illnesses, they all impact the sufferers life negatively, and all need treatment. To actively dispell common stigma's, myths and prejudices that surround eating disorders. To interact with medical professionals to enhance their understanding of Eating Disorders and subsequently the way they treat eating disorders.
Long Term Aims
To establish a non-profit organization within this campaign, to raise money in order to fund sufferer's treatment, who have been turned away from NHS due to not meeting their criteria and whom cannot afford private treatment.

Mission Statement
The Hungry for Change campaign is dedicated to promoting a healthy and positive attitude towards recovery, further to challenging the stigma that is attached to Eating Disorders. The campaign does this through the support of fellow activists who are passionate in this area of the mental illness. The campaign provides various methods for the public to contact them, offering non-judgmental advice, which is not to be used in place of professional medical advice, as well support through creative, interactional and relational schemes.
