Our Why

Eating disorders have one of the highest mortality rates of any mental illness. There is also a huge lack of resource to support those diagnosed or who are at risk of developing an Eating Disorder. Genevieve (who is also the co-founder of mental health charity Voices of Hope) fought a tough battle with Anorexia Nervosa and now co-facilitates support groups for people who are fighting this debilitating illness. She is contacted daily by individuals as well as carers desperate for support and together with Hannah, decided that something needed to be done about it.

Gen and Hannah saw a need for a practical and inspiring program delivered via a beautiful app, that was different to the traditional Eating Disorder apps, which focus heavily on food tracking and journaling. Having a program such as Love your Kite delivered in app format allows us to reach a global audience, and help people in countries where Eating Disorders are still taboo. It is also our hope that we can help people who have not yet been diagnosed by who are showing signs or are at risk.
