The National Schizophrenia Fellowship (NSF) was founded in 1972 following a period of correspondence in The Times initiated by John Pringle. It currently has a membership of around 7000 people linked to over 160 groups throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The majority of the members are informal carers. The organisation provides direct care to about 3000 people each week.
