About SANE

SANE is fortunate to have the backing of a number of well-known celebrities, supporting our efforts in raising awareness of mental health issues.
Dame Judi Dench, DBE
SANEline offers much more than just emotional support, it is a treasure trove of information and contacts that can help ease the pain of mental illness This is why it is such a lifeline to so many.
Joanna Lumley, OBE
I have always admired SANE's independent stance and support the charity's ongoing battle to ensure better rights and care for people with mental health problems.
Michael Palin, CBE
I know how much help SANEline gives to those who become lost in the uncharted territory of mental illness. It is important in difficult times that people feel they are not alone.
Ross Kemp
I was invited to spend a day with SANEline's dedicated team of volunteers and staff.
It certainly opened my eyes to the difficulties facing people affected by mental health problems. I realised what a challenging thing it is to be a SANEline volunteer; it takes special kinds of people to work on the helpline.
I hope you will join me in encouraging SANE's vital work, ensuring that anyone who needs support and information has someone to talk to, particularly in the early hours of the morning and at weekends.
Carole Stone
As someone whose brother suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, I am very pleased to be a Patron of SANE. I only wish the helpline had been available to me and my family in those days.
Alastair Stewart
I am delighted to lend my support to SANE's campaign: ignorance and prejudice are terrifying partners. SANE has always bravely and consistently battled against both and held high the banners of care and compassion. I am happy to broadcast my total backing for SANE.
Juliet Stevenson
There is a large swathe of people with mental health problems who need help, and because they suffer from particularly isolating conditions, services like SANEline are urgently needed.
Jonathan Miller
There are so many victims of mental illness - from dementia to bipolar disorder to schizophrenia. These are all diseases which can be dealt with and should not be embarrassing. in this sense, services like SANEline are essential.

I thoroughly support the work of SANE and its founder Marjorie Wallace and in particular the way SANEline reaches out to families of people with mental illness.
