Make a Difference this Christmas

Donate to Oakleaf and help make sure that all those who need support over the festive period receive it.

• £10 could fund a week of supplies for our free art classes. The therapeutic benefits of art are extensive. Our classes help promote creativity, reduce social isolation and increase confidence in our clients.

• £50 could fund four weeks of weekly fitness classes for Oakleaf clients, led by an experienced certified trainer. These free fitness classes are part of our programme of helping clients to increase their confidence, make friends and ultimately rebuild their lives with a stronger sense of wellbeing.

• £100 could fund our Wellbeing Café for one week. Based at our premises in Guildford on Fridays afternoons, our café serves as a welcoming and familiar environment, providing a safe space for our clients to meet others and receive support from staff and peers alike over food and refreshments.

• £250 could fund a block of six counselling sessions with an experienced BACP-registered counsellor, available for Oakleaf clients facing particularly challenging or complex mental ill-health.

• £500 could fund three months of one of our Support Groups, such as our Women’s group, Mental Health Support group, or Grief and Bereavement group.

At Oakleaf we offer a counselling service of up to 18 sessions, which gives clients time to explore what they need to work through. In our latest video, one of our brilliant counsellors Simone shines a light on our offering.

“Our service gives people hope that things can change, and enables them to grow in confidence and resilience, which can really make a difference to people’s lives.” – Simone
