One free app. Over 13,000 mental health services. 24/7 crisis support.

As we approach the festive season, please remember that Hub Of Hope, the UK’s fastest growing and most comprehensive mental health support database, is free to use at any point.

The Hub of Hope is the UK’s leading mental health support database, bringing together local, national, peer, community, charity, private and NHS mental health support services together for the first time. The database was developed by national charity and partner of CNWL, Chasing the Stigma, to signpost people towards vital mental health support in their local area.

The Hub of Hope can be accessed online or downloaded for FREE from Apple App or Google Play Store. So far:

  • 13,000 (and growing!) mental health services have registered themselves on to the database
  • Over 650,000 people used the Hub of Hope
  • Over 150,000 people have downloaded the app

To use the app, simply enter your postcode and select what kind of support you require from a series of options. The app will then generate a list of suitable services closest to you.

Within CNWL’s service area, the most frequently searched terms include: depression; anxiety; eating disorders; advice and support; women’s support; bereavement and loneliness.

You can also search by provider, specifying whether you’d prefer support from NHS, Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises, the private sector, support groups or telephone support, to name just a few.

You can read more about Hub of Hope’s partnership with CNWL here.

The Hub of Hope App is embedded on CNWL’s website and its own mental health services are on the platform, providing everyone who downloads the App, access to its community and crisis services, substance misuse, perinatal and learning disability support.
