On the 17 October I am hosting a Closed Parliamentary Reception with John McDonnell where we will be launching 2 exciting and vital things for those affected by eating disorders.

We have had a number of MPs already RSVP but we need more there so we can help make real policy change and save lives!

It would be amazing to have your help!!! There are 2 things you can do :

1. All you need to do is copy and paste the below letter and email it to your local MP (please do personalise it as much as you like!)

2. Copy and paste this tweet and share it on your social media: “As a member of your constituency @insertMP I am urging you to take the time to go along to the parliamentary reception hosted by @hopevirgo to show your support for the millions of people affected by eating disorders #changethestory #dumpthescales “

Thank you so much for your support! Keep an eye on my Twitter and Instagram for more updates about the event!

Letter for your local MP

Dear [insert name of MP]

John Mcdonnell MP and Author and Mental Health Campaigner, Hope Virgo, are hosting a closed parliamentary reception on 17 October between 17:00-18:30. At the event there will be the unveiling of two vital things for those affected by eating disorders.

As a member of your constituency, I am urging you to take the time to go and to show your support to those affected by eating disorders

Eating disorders are a serious mental health issue often hidden in plain sight and they have the highest mortality rate of any other psychiatric illness. No-one should be condemned to a life of illness, nor should anyone be dying of an eating disorder in 2022.
