Peter Campbell (1949 – 2022) was an activist, writer, poet and survivor of the mental health system who devoted his life and considerable talents to the pursuit of survivors’ rights and justice. 

The Peter Campbell Legacy Project (PCLP) was established to preserve the history and legacy of Peter’s work. Its activities have included publishing a collection of Peter’s writings with Routledge, At the Heart of a Mad Movement, and organising Peter’s extensive archive, compiled over more than four decades. In accordance with Peter’s wishes, the archive is now held at the Bishopsgate Institute and available to the public. 

This website provides further information about Peter Campbell, his archive, some of the organisations with which he was involved, and the publication At the Heart of a Mad Movement.
