History
SANE was established in 1986 to improve the quality of life for people affected by mental illness, following the overwhelming public response to a series of articles published in The Times entitled “The Forgotten Illness”. Written by the charity’s founder and Chief Executive, Marjorie Wallace, the articles exposed the neglect of people suffering from mental illness and the poverty of services and information for individuals and families. From its initial focus on schizophrenia, SANE expanded and is now concerned with all mental illnesses. SANE's vision has remained consistent throughout its twenty five year history: to raise public awareness, instigate research, and bring more effective professional treatment and compassionate care to everyone affected by mental illness.
