#SpeakUp small grants 2018-19 - South Yorkshire Eating Disorders Association
South Yorkshire Eating Disorders Association (SYEDA) helps people with eating disorders and their supporters. They used their #SpeakUp Grant to explore a voice initiative and to consider the new eating disorders pathway in Sheffield.
Our #SpeakUp small grants scheme awards funding to local community, voluntary, or not-for-profit groups, enabling them to engage with their communities about what matters to them.
