Eating disorder helpline to open on Christmas Day

The abundance of food over Christmas can make it a particularly difficult time for people with eating disorders. Tom Quinn from the charity said: "On Christmas day we will have our helpline open as we do every day of the year, because we know that Christmas can be a particularly challenging time for people with eating disorders. "There's an increased focus on food, and that can make it a very anxious and stressful time for people who have this serious mental illness.
