The Pantry is a unique young person centred approach to talking about eating, developed with over 40 young people in Surrey at risk of eating disorder in association with local dietitians, schools and the NHS.

Funded through Chances for Change, The Pantry web resource will be piloted in Spring 2010 and will be a hub for creative responses and resources to develop self confidence in young people to explore the issues through peer to peer support, self expression and innovation. Further developments will include working with young disabled people in special and mainstream settings and developing commissions with artists with eating disorder histories and hidden disability.
