Workshops and events.
Collaboration in the eating disorder community is important to us.
By hosting regular events, webinars, workshops and discussions, online and in person, we strive to extend our hope in recovery outside the walls of our London centre. We talk with a variety of people sharing their experiences and expertise of eating disorders, ranging from those with lived experience of eating disorders; health care professionals; families and carers; and our specialist clinical team.
Community is at the heart of Orri and all are welcome.
So you don’t miss out, you can keep updated with our calendar of events below, or you can sign up to our newsletter.
