Branching Out: Surrey Wide Outreach Programme

Oakleaf, in partnership with Catalyst Support and Hope Hub, is delivering a new Surrey-wide outreach service, funded by the Community Foundation for Surrey. The service offers up to 24 weeks of 1:1, trauma-informed support for adults experiencing multiple disadvantage.

Working across all 21 priority neighbourhoods in Surrey, we take a proactive approach by meeting people in their own communities. The service is for adults aged 18+ experiencing two or more areas of disadvantage, including homelessness, substance use, mental health difficulties, criminal justice involvement, or domestic/sexual abuse.

We aim to engage people early, before challenges reach crisis point, while also supporting those already in crisis.

Bridge the Gap

Bridge the Gap is a trauma-informed outreach service supporting adults facing multiple disadvantages across Surrey through the Government’s Changing Futures initiative. We provide flexible 1:1 key worker support for people affected by mental health, homelessness, substance use, domestic abuse or the criminal justice system, including help with housing, healthcare, finances, harm reduction and referrals.

Clients can also access Surrey Adults Matter (SAM), a multi-agency Team Around the Person approach providing personalised support. Practitioners can refer via our referral form or directly to SAM.
