Leeds Support Hub is a peer-2-peer platform that is accessible 24/7 for those in need of support. It is part of a region wide campaign which is supported by community donations and local business sponsorships.
The platform was created by Mindworks, which connects local communities to digital-based emotional support.

Jason Richard, founder of Mindworks said: “There's an ever-growing need for emotional support within the community, and sadly, that need is becoming more and more present. It’s of paramount importance that we respond to this growing need and support the most vulnerable.
“Services like these can be a real lifeline for many, both during this difficult period, and beyond.”
Members of the community can access the platform for free here.
