Over 25 years, it has grown from helping 100 people through a Golders Green day centre to supporting over 1,000 sufferers across London.
Jami chief executive Laurie Rackind and chair Doug Krikler were among the speakers, as was a London mother who had been helped enormously by the charity after her 24-year-old son attempted suicide.
“When mental illness strikes a family, it is a weapon of mass destruction,” she said.
“It is almost a year since I nearly lost my son. He still has a long, long way to go, but he is here.
“Jami showed me how to deal with the system in which the people we love most are stuck — and I am eternally grateful.”
The dinner raised over £225,000 for Jami’s work.
