We are delighted to announce that Ruby Wax has become Patron of Viewpoint!

Ruby is a renowned comedian, writer, broadcaster and mental health campaigner who has spent many years challenging stigma and encouraging open conversations about mental health.
As a charity led by and for people with lived experience of mental health challenges, we are incredibly proud to welcome Ruby to the Viewpoint family. Her passion for improving mental wellbeing, promoting understanding, and helping people find connection and hope aligns closely with everything we stand for.
Ruby said:

"Mental health can make you feel like you’ve been locked out of the human race — and then organisations like Viewpoint come along and hand you a key. What makes this charity so special is that it’s built on something incredibly powerful — people with lived experience supporting one another with honesty, humour, compassion and hope. Mental health recovery doesn’t happen in isolation; it happens through connection, understanding, and community, and Viewpoint creates exactly that. I’m thrilled to become Patron and support a charity that reminds people they’re not alone, not broken, and definitely still part of the world.”

Please join us in giving Ruby a very warm Viewpoint welcome! 💙
