A thank you from the heart ๐
In this weekโs Monday Morning Message, Marg reflects on SEEDโs 25 Year Gala Celebration and wants to say a huge thank you to everyone who made the evening so special.
Anorexia is often misunderstood, and that misunderstanding can keep people suffering in silence.
Many people still see anorexia as being only about food or weight, when in reality it is a serious eating disorder that can affect both mental and physical health.
Feeling understood can change more than we realise.
When someone is struggling, they donโt always need perfect advice or all the answers. Often, what helps most is feeling noticed, listened to, and supported without judgment.
You are never too old for a cuddle, and never too old to say โI love you.โ ๐
In this weekโs Monday Morning Message, Marg shares a simple but powerful reminder: the smallest gestures can carry the greatest meaning.
Gemma reflects on a special few days in London celebrating her birthday, spending time with loved ones, and taking part in a wellbeing panel where she shared her experiences and the importance of speaking openly about mental health and eating disorders.
For many people, eating disorders are still misunderstood as being only about food, weight, or appearance. In reality, they often involve anxiety, low self-worth, obsessive thoughts, emotional distress, and a deep internal struggle that others may never fully see.
Small actions can create meaningful change.
This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and this yearโs theme is Take Action, a reminder that supporting mental health doesnโt always have to start with something big.
You cannot pour from an empty cup.
In this weekโs Monday Morning Message, Marg reminds us that today marks the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, a time to reflect on the importance of looking after our mental wellbeing and taking action to support ourselves and others.
A weekend full of gratitude ๐
In this weekโs Weekend Wisdom, Gemma reflects on her birthday and how thankful she feels for all the love, messages, and kind words she received.
Birthdays can be a powerful reminder of how far you have come.
Sometimes the hardest struggles are the ones no one can see.
When others only see the outside, it can feel lonely. It can make you question whether your struggles are valid or whether you should keep pushing through. But pain does not have to be visible to be real.
Marg's Monday Morning Message
Marg talks about what it can be like going on holiday when an eating disorder is part of your life, both for the person struggling and for those supporting them.
This post is a look back at some of the incredible moments from last Sundayโs London Marathon, where our amazing runners took on 26.2 miles for SEED.
We are so proud and deeply grateful to everyone who chose to run in support of our charity.

Marg's Monday Morning Message
In this week's message, Marg reflects on heading down to London to support and cheer on SEED's incredible marathon runners. Seeing people come together for such an important cause is a powerful reminder of what community can achieve.
When youโre struggling with an eating disorder, it can feel incredibly isolating. You might not know who to talk to, how to explain what youโre going through, or whether your experience is โenoughโ to ask for help.
SEEDโs Volunteer Buddy Scheme is here to change that.
When youโre struggling, especially with an eating disorder, it can be easy to be your own harshest critic. The thoughts can feel loud, constant, and difficult to challenge, making it hard to show yourself the same understanding you would offer to someone else.
Feeling heard can make all the difference.
In this weekโs Monday Morning Message, Marg talks about the importance of communication and how making it purposeful can help both the person affected and those supporting them feel understood.
