Well done to all those who attended the #dumpthescales march (oh to have been brave enough to)
It’s felt so uplifting to read all the posts over the last couple of days. It feels like it’s doing something good Hope Virgo
Praying that change comes
So glad I went to the #DumpTheScales march with my friend, it gave her a much needed boost of motivation to keep going with her recovery too which was so lovely to hear 🥹🩷
Looking for somewhere to publish our #dumpthescales letter to the Secretary of State that isn't just on my social media.. any ideas welcome!
🗨️We are now discussing concepts such as ‘terminal anorexia’, which give people with eating disorders no hope that they will ever recover🗨️
A new interview with Hope Virgo on the hub⬇️

Couldn’t agree more we need to change the dialogue to how we can adapt treatments so that we can support everyone to recovery . #opendialogue #peersupport
Huge thanks to Hope Virgo for shedding light on this important issue. The mismatch between what pts are being told verbally and what is written in their notes is very worrying—it's the opposite of shared decision making, and is dishonest & utterly disempowering.

Yesterday I attended Hope Virgo’s #DumpTheScales march. I invite @VictoraAtkins Duncan Baker MP Jane Hunt MP & MPs across all parties & constituencies to raise this in parliament. For the #1in5 who don’t survive.
Such an inspiring and emotional day. After hearing what I heard today, things can only get better for people like Charl. Hope we did you proud today. Thanks for organising this and all the work that you do Hope Virgo #dumpthescales
