‘Men Get Eating Disorders Too’ is a website and
publicity campaign that aims to raise awareness of male eating disorders
(anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder) and also associated exercise
disorders (compulsive exercise and ‘Bigorexia’ – also known as muscle
dysmorphia). Our recently launched website (www.mengetedstoo.co.uk )
provides users with information and advice on eating disorders including
definitions and the symptoms, treatments and support services available.
There are also personal stories and a message board so that male users can
connect with other men with eating disorders to share their experiences and
offer peer support.
Our mission is: Raising awareness of eating disorders in men so men can
seek support.

Do you find it difficult to get to the shops? Or do you know someone who could do with some help to get there? Community Transport’s EASYLINK shopping bus service might just be the answer.
EASYLINK is a door-to-door minibus service that picks shoppers up from right outside their homes, takes them to a local supermarket or city centre shopping street and then returns them home when they have finished their shopping. The service runs on Mondays to Fridays and can be pre-booked by a simple telephone call to the Community Transport office in Brighton (01273 677559).
The service is specially designed to meet the needs of older people and people with mobility difficulties. All the buses are wheelchair accessible. The drivers are willing to help passengers to their seats and make sure they are comfortable before driving off.
EASYLINK buses run in all parts of Brighton and Hove, from Saltdean to Portslade and from Patcham to the Seafront. Shopping centres served include the Holmbush Centre in Shoreham, Sainsbury’s and the Co-op in Hove, ASDA at Hollingbury and the shops at Churchill Square, London Road and Brighton Marina.
Community Transport have recently increased the number of runs they do to out of town centres, such as Holmbush, Worthing, Eastbourne and Paradise Park, Newhaven.
Details of all the journeys that run are to be found in a leaflet that is available from Community Transport, on 01273 677559 or on the Community Transport website, www.bhct.co.uk
The fares are very reasonable too – £3.50 return for most local journeys and a little more for the out of town trips. Much cheaper than a taxi and good value for the personal help that some passengers need. Brighton and Hove City Council have been supporting the service for many years.
Why not join the happy band of regular EASYLINK shoppers? Or if you don’t need the service yourself, suggest it to someone you know.
The BMEYPP is committed to building the capacity of the local BME communities to develop activities and projects.
