“NEEDS Scotland tries to help people help themselves.”

Who/ Where are we?

Based in Aberdeen, NEEDS Scotland aims to offer information about eating disorders, support and encouragement in a safe, caring and confidential environment, to anyone affected by an eating disorder – sufferers, families and other carers. We aim to help ease the isolation many sufferers and carers feel.

We hope that people attending meetings will no longer feel isolated with problems, meet others experiencing similar problems, have opportunities to borrow books and other useful resources as well as meet interesting speakers, and to be listened to with compassion and without judgment.

Raising awareness of the problems caused by eating disorders for sufferers and their families is also part of NEEDS Scotland activities.

Formed from support groups based in Aberdeen and Keith – established by volunteers in 1994 and 1998 respectively – North East Eating Disorders Support (NEEDS) Scotland in 2003 became a registered charity (Reg. Charity SCO34524).
