SANE wins Gold for Forums redesign at the 2025 Good Design Awards!

SANE wins Gold for Forums redesign at the 2025 Good Design Awards!

🎉 Big news, Forumites! 🎉

We’re so proud to share that the SANE Forums has won Gold at the 2025 Good Design Awards for our Forums redesign late last year! 🥇

This award is about so much more than design — it’s about you, our community! Community co-design was at the heart of this project, with insights from 572 lived experience survey responses, 60 in-depth Forum discussions, and 15 user testing interviews helping to shape every step.


We listened to what mattered most to you and, together with our design partners at Colosl, brought your ideas to life — creating a space that helps people connect faster, feel supported, and find what they need more easily.


This award celebrates not just thoughtful design, but what’s possible when a community comes together to create something truly meaningful. 💖


A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the co-design process or shared feedback along the way. Your voices made this possible — and continue to make this community what it is today. 🤗

@rav3n Congratulations. It takes a huge effort from our community to co design. I want to thank each and every person who put in time and effort. I’ll go check some of the links you put up to see what people had to say.
