Chasing the Stigma

Chasing the Stigma is a national charity committed to normalising mental health. We make it easy to find help through the Hub of Hope support app, we create an environment of understanding through our Ambassador of Hope training and we campaign for change, every day.

The Hub of Hope was established in 2017 and was the brainchild of Liverpool Comedian, Jake Mills. Following his own suicide attempt in October 2013, Jake realised when talking through his own personal experience that many people didn’t know where to turn for help with their own mental health issues, so he and his team created the Hub of Hope – an app to bring together all of the mental health support available to someone in any given area. To date, the Hub of Hope - which currently has 5,000+ services registered - has directed more than 200,000 people to life-changing and even life-saving help. The Hub of Hope is free to download and use and free for organisations to register and it is available from App Store, Play Store and via www.hubofhope.co.uk.
