Hi, My Name is Hope Virgo and I am the Founder of DumpTheScales - a campaign calling on the government to end the injustices of those affected by eating disorders. For too long eating disorders have been dismissed and stigmatised. They have faced decades of underfunding, stigma, and neglect. With the growing number of diagnoses and more people being labelled as untreatable or ‘treatment-resistant’, we have decided that enough is enough. This campaign is for anybody and everybody who cares about eating disorders and wants to change the way they are treated, as well as the stigmas, stereotypes and judgments often associated with them.
Our campaign calls include: ending the postcode lottery, promoting intersectionality in research and treatment, ensuring equitable and timely access to evidence-based treatments, mandatory health screening for all high-risk groups, and workforce training on eating disorders.
Historically we have funded the #DumpTheScales campaign work ourselves, and whilst everyone who works for the campaign is doing so in a voluntary capacity given the scale of the problem, we cannot do this alone. We need your help to raise enough money so that we can reach every single person struggling and so that we can have maximum impact on the Government and NHS.
