First Steps is Derbyshire’s only eating disorder charity. First Steps Derbyshire supports people all over Derbyshire and the surrounding areas who are affected by eating difficulties and disorders; this includes parents, partners and families. Many of the staff and volunteers have had personal experience of an eating disorder either as a sufferer or as a loved one, and food no longer controls their everyday lives. First Steps offers a friendly and non-judgmental atmosphere for anyone who is having difficulties with food related issues; people don’t have to be diagnosed with a particular eating disorder.
