About Oakleaf

We empower people who have mental health needs to gain meaningful employment and satisfying careers. With exceptional patience, empathy and support Oakleaf clients are encouraged to:

• Use their inherent abilities to develop employable skills and gain a qualification.
• Restore the confidence and self esteem that’s been damaged by a short or long term mental illness.
• Develop the interpersonal, practical and academic skills they need to rebuild their lives.

Work strengthens independence and dignity. We understand that as a disabled group, people with mental health needs face considerable barriers when competing in the open job market. We support them to overcome these barriers by offering a comprehensive back to work service. Since 1997, hundreds of people have come to Oakleaf for support; they have gained nationally recognised qualifications and/or work experience in IT, horticulture, upholstery and catering. .
