The Knowledge Exchange - Sharing knowledge, learning and practice in suicide prevention
This project is part of the UK collaborative for the prevention of suicides, One Voice, One Hope.
The Knowledge Exchange Hub will be launched in by the end of 2026.
This online resource exchange was inspired following a conversation with Jake Mills, the founder of the charity Chasing the Stigma and its national signposting website the Hub of Hope.
Jake is also a member of the Core Group for One Voice, One Hope (OVOH).
The Knowledge Exchange will differ from the publicly accessible Hub of Hope. Rather than a help network for mental health issues and suicide support, the Knowledge Exchange will enable those operating in the suicide prevention space to share research projects and practical initiatives which would be of value to an individual or organisation involved in suicide prevention, intervention and postvention.
This unique national resource will be accessible across all 4 nations of the UK, providing evidence based examples of suicide prevention, intervention and postvention initiatives that are making a practical contribution to saving lives and reducing deaths by suicide. In turn, others can access these examples to help provide ideas to support their own suicide prevention projects.
Funding
Initial seed funding of £10,000 has been provided to develop this project by The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales. The Jordan Legacy was invited to become an Innovation Partner with The Royal Foundation’s National Suicide Prevention Network on World Mental Health Day (October 10th) 2025.
Guided by charities like the Hub of Hope, it is widely recognised that although there are an increasing number of online signposting resources for the general public, nothing exists at a national level to enable professionals, third sector organisations, and lived experience individuals seeking to make a difference, to be able to identify what is already working in preventing suicides – often such examples are available only within geographic or sector-specific partnership silos
One Voice, One Hope (OVOH) is a national collaborative for suicide prevention being developed by a diverse group of grassroots and larger charity leaders, NHS professionals, consultants, campaigners, academics and importantly, those with lived experience of mental ill-health and suicide.
One Voice, One Hope has a vision to remove the siloed approach to preventing deaths by suicide. We recognise that only through wider collaboration will we finally start to see the number of deaths by suicide move on a downward trend toward zero.
One Voice, One Hope is a collaborative of volunteer suicide prevention advocates,most with extensive lived experience and its development is being incubated with support from The Jordan Legacy CIC.
