Branching Out

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.
