Russell Prue talks to actor Gemma Oaten about her role with the SEED charity

Having experienced an eating disorder herself as a young person, Gemma is using her platform as an actor to raise awareness and promote the SEED charity established by her mum as a result of their combined experiences as a sufferer and a parent.

The charity aims to supply educational toolkits for primary and secondary schools to provide teachers and students with more information on eating disorders. Gemma explains that they are currently working with around 100 schools in the UK, delivering the messages around eating disorders via animation, poetry, video and more.
