Hope’s Garden, Eating Disorders Support
& Resource Centre was founded by the Eating
Disorders
Association of London in November of 2002. Modelled after
Sheena’s Place in
Toronto, Hope’s Garden is the
only facility in the greater London area that is dedicated
entirely to helping people with eating disorders and their
family and friends.
Although we do not offer any clinical services,
studies have shown that support and
education are two key
elements necessary for recovery from an eating disorder.

All services provided at Hope’s Garden are at no cost
to the user. Hope’s Garden relies
on the generosity of
individuals, corporations and foundations to maintain its
services.
