Schizophrenia Fellowship formed

The newly-formed Schizophrenia Fellowship of Great Britain has called on Quakers to support its call for mental health reform. Martyn Stevens, the fellowship's secretary, says the campaign is seeking a more compassionate approach to the treatment of mentally ill people.
'It was Quakers who took up our cause when they used to chain us up and beat us, supposedly to beat the demons out of us,' recalls Martyn.
The fellowship is at 8 Samuel Close, Woolwich, London SE18 5LR.
