Sorry that I have been positively awful in blogging of late. I’ll get back to it properly next week. For now, I just want to let you know about a competition asking members of the public to submit pictures of what they consider to be real beauty in order to challenge the pressures on people to join the size-zero culture that leads many to eating disorders. The cross party group on eating disorders has launched this in the run up to eating disorders awareness week in February. The press release is here, and you can see all the details here. Post your photos for the competition on our flickr group page here.
Judges include International Rugby referee Nigel Owens, Amanda Protheroe Thomas, Madeleine Brindley from the Western Mail, and Martin Staniforth from Dove Self Esteem. Competition closes on the 16th of February with an event on the 25th of February at the Senedd, 6pm. Hope you can make it!
