On Thursday 3rd November, local mental health charity Oakleaf Enterprise won the ‘Community Hero’ award as part of the Surrey Business Awards for 2022.
The much-anticipated awards, organised by The Platinum Media Group, are the largest of its kind in Surrey. Hundreds of the county’s leading innovators, leaders and entrepreneurs gathered for the prestigious black-tie event, held at G-Live in Guildford, to celebrate their achievements over the last twelve months.
The awards ceremony was hosted by British actress, writer and comedian Jo Caulfield, which recognised all kinds of businesses, large and small, across different sectors in Surrey. This year saw a record-breaking number of nominations for each category, with hundreds of applicants whittled down to just eighty finalists. The sixteen winners included individuals and organisations from a wide range of sectors, including technology, health, retail and marketing.
Oakleaf’s Chief Executive Officer Clive Stone, said: “We were delighted to have been recognised by our peers and contemporaries, but also by the business sector across Surrey in winning this award. It is very humbling to know that the Oakleaf staff team delivers pivotal support for adults with mental health problems, which in turn is crucial for their wellbeing.”

The Guildford-based charity is extremely proud to have had the opportunity to raise awareness of its services and its overall vision to continue to improve the lives of people managing their mental health in the community.
