We are thrilled that Spotify has chosen to team up with SANE in support of Blue Mood Month and the Black Dog Campaign. They have generously provided us with advertising for this exciting initiative which sees celebrities and supporters creating playlists of their favourite 'sad songs that make you happy'.

eCourier are generously supporting SANE's Black Dog Campaign by transporting the Black Dog statues between locations. Support of this kind is so important - it ensures that more people are aware of the campaign and know where they can turn if they or someone they know is experiencing mental health problems.

In March 2010, Chandler Chicco nominated SANE as their Charity of the Year. This relationship saw CCC staff donating 500 hours of pro-bono time to SANE, as well as participating in fundraising activities and volunteering.

SANE was delighted to feature in an Arcadia Group staff wellbeing initiative. Arcadia wanted to raise awareness of depression among its 7,500+ workforce. Wellbeing information posters were distributed to over 300 stores across the UK containing details on how Arcadia staff could access emotional support and practical help from SANE.

We were delighted to receive a corporate donation from Aviva plc in support of SANE's Befriending service. Their contribution was accompanied by a wonderful message of support: "At Aviva we believe that everyone can make a difference and I was struck by the determination of SANE to make a difference to the lives of people who may feel isolated or lonely as a result of mental illness."

Aviva staff have also undertaken several fundraising activities on behalf of SANE and the company has supplemented the funds raised with donations from their internal community support scheme. Aviva has also promoted our telephone helpline, SANEline, to their clients who have taken out psychiatric insurance.

We are pleased to have received consistent and very generous support from InterSteels. Their donations are always accompanied by very positive messages of encouragement saying their contribution is "towards the great work you do at SANE." This understanding and goodwill epitomises the spirit of the SANE Community.
