This amazing, inspirational, hard working charity is just what is needed in today's society! Wish there was more of them! Start one in the West Midlands please! =)

Seeking help from first steps has given me the confidence to move forward towards recovery and it has filled me with ideas of what to do with my ED and how to cope with the recovery process.



I go to the Thursday evening support group and we cover a different topic each week - I have had a few "light bulb" moments where things have just clicked and I have realised I am not alone in this ED fight.



I am grateful to have found First Steps and will continue to be a part of the Thursday evening group for as long as I can, I have met the most supportive non judgmental people that I could ever wish to meet.



It is somewhere I can be honest about my struggles and be open about what is going on in my life.



I have a "befriender" who keeps in contact via email twice a week and again it allows me to see there is life after an ED - we can talk about anything that is worrying me in confidence and without judgement.



If you are struggling or your family is struggling contact this amazing supportive charity, you won't be sorry you reached out for some support.

Life changing... it has certainly changed a part of mine! Inspirational and uplifting! =)

I love working at First Steps Derbyshire.



The staff, volunteers and service users are all what make this charity so amazing.

I enjoy coming to group every couple of weeks Amazing session tonight Really enjoyed yoga thank you for arranging it and thanks to Lisa the yoga teacher �

First steps have helped me so much and have offered me so much help. They have amazing, friendly volunteers who are so committed and kind. Thankyou all you are amazing hoomans����

First Steps helped me right from that first terrifying moment of choosing to get help and I know I can continue to get support for as long as I need it. I met so many wonderful and inspiring people, made amazing friends which I never thought I could, and received support beyond any I could have imagined. This really is such a welcoming place where you will be safe and supported throughout your whole recovery.

First Steps have given me options. I have been with them for a number of years and I have been supported by them. As a service user I feel they understand me and they help me to feel hopeful.

Thanks to First Steps. Keep up the good work. 😊

Fantastic organisation. At a time when I didn't know where else to turn for help with my daughters eating, First Steps offered their services. In 8 weeks my little girl has made fantastic progress and is now looking positively towards food for the first time in her life. Thank you could never be enough �

An excellent, must needed service!

Amazing

Absolutely wonderful organisation- helped me from right at the start of my recovery when I was absolutely terrified and unsure to now, when I'm a lot better but would still like that support network in place! It gave me confidence- the ability to see myself as more than my ED and as a good leader, someone who could even facilitate the YP group occasionally! Made amazing friends, discoveries about myself and found an organisation more willing to help and more caring than I could have ever imagined! Try not to feel scared going here- it will help you so much!
