Every year approximately 1 in 4 people will have a mental health issue and even pre-pandemic, people with mental illness had the second lowest employment rate of any disabled group, with only 28.5% securing long-term work (ONS 2019). In addition to mental ill-health, we know that most people who attend Oakleaf are unemployed, struggling with low confidence and isolation as well as financial uncertainty. Many live alone and don't have a strong support network. With your support, this can change.

Your support will help hundreds of people every month who are managing mental ill-health. Oakleaf provides a safe environment with much needed structure, support and stability with daily wellbeing activities, work-related training, employment guidance and counselling services. We help clients (aged 16 and over) improve their mental health and wellbeing, remain out of the hospital, find employment, and have a positive focus in community settings.
