Eating Disorders Association NI

The Eating Disorders Association (EDA N.I.) is a charity based in Belfast City Centre and was founded by Mrs Ann McCann in 1992. The vision of the organisation was and still is straightforward and clear-cut, that is, to support and be a voice for those affected with the destructive effects of what living with an eating disorder brings. That is, support for both the person affected and for those endeavouring to support their loved one on their journey to recovery from the illness.

EDA (N.I.) recognises that recovery from an eating disorder is no easy and straightforward feat, rather it is often a difficult, tiresome and non-linear journey. Recovery from an eating disorder is always possible and with that ethos EDA (N.I.) endeavours to deliver a first class service providing support, hope and understanding that will facilitate and enable the person’s individual journey to recovery.
