Award-winning investigative journalist, author, broadcaster, founder and CEO of SANE.
Marjorie Wallace CBE is an investigative journalist whose fighting spirit has led her to help break some of the highest-profile exposes, including the Thalidomide scandal and the Dioxin disaster. Her series of articles for The Times, The Forgotten Illness, led to the founding of mental health charity SANE and has been recognised as changing attitudes and shaping policy on mental health at a national and international level. Her love of poetry, literature, drama, and music has combined with her rigorous objectivity to enable her to give voice to other people’s inner-most thoughts, feelings, conflicts, and achievements.
“Marjorie stands firmly and consciously in the tradition of 19th-century social reformers like Charles Dickens. For almost all her adult life, she has been an outstanding campaigning journalist, and her greatest campaign of all has been on behalf of the most unloved and unwanted people – the mentally ill.”
– Minette Marrin, The Sunday Times
“She moves easily between sad streets and social splendours... she combines a private life of high society glamour with her public crusades in the twilight world of the dispossessed.”
– Robert Chesshyre, The Sunday Telegraph
