Get Connected
Oakleaf Enterprise has provided vocational training and wider support to people with mental health needs since 1995 when an occupational therapy unit at the old local Victorian asylum, Brookwood Hospital, closed and relocated to Guildford. The charity was registered in 1997.
Oakleaf benefits local people in Guildford and neighbouring boroughs who suffer mental ill-health. The charity has supported hundreds of people back into work. Just as significantly, it has helped keep many hundreds more sufficiently well enough to stay out of hospital.
