If you struggle with eating issues of any kind, there is a new group in town where people can meet, learn and share their experiences.

The driving force behind Eat Your Way to Recovery is local campaigner, Leanne McKillop, who has set up the group with help from Our Place Our Future Greenock East and Central. It is one of several new groups being backed by the OPOF team, encouraging local people to create positive changes for themselves.
