Oakleaf Enterprise is delighted that from October 19th 2025, for the next 12 months, we are an elected again as a Local Community Fund Cause in Guildford that you can support when you shop at a Co-op Store. You can support Oakleaf even if you do not live in Guildford - simply select us via the App or Website.

For 2025/2026 we are raising funds to help run our wellbeing activates for our clients.

The programme will allow clients to connect with peers, build meaningful relationships, reduce isolation and become active members of the local community.

Oakleaf Enterprise is a leading mental health charity based in Guildford, dedicated to empowering adults experiencing mental ill health to gain the skills, confidence, and wellbeing needed to rebuild their lives.

Since 1997, we’ve been supporting individuals on their journey towards recovery by offering practical training, emotional support, and a sense of community. Our goal is to reduce stigma around mental health and help people realise their potential.

Caroline (Caz) Edwards and the team will be popping up at a Surrey Co-op near you soon to provide information, support and a listening ear!

Guildford Community Lottery was created in 2018 by Guildford Borough Council.

Set up to support community projects in the local area, Guildford Community Lottery operates on the principle of raising money within the community for the community. We empower local good causes to raise money in a fun and effective way.

In a time of shrinking budgets and increased community need, Guildford Community Lottery enables people to support the causes they care most about, helping good causes to connect with their supporters.

A ticket for Guildford Community Lottery costs £1 a week and 60p will go directly to good causes! Choose to support Oakleaf Enterprise and enter this weekend to win a Nintendo Switch 2 Bundle!

Guildford Community Lottery - a fun and easy way to support good causes in Guildford!

We had a wonderful evening filled with laughter at Oakleaf’s Comedy Night, Wednesday 1st October at The Star Inn, Guildford.

A huge thank you to Kelly's Storage Ltd , Trafalgar Marquees and Shanly Foundation for sponsoring the event and to everyone who attended in support of better mental health in the Surrey community.

We would also like to thank our brilliant host for the night, Dave Chawner for pulling the evening together along with each of our comedians!

This was our second Comedy Night, and it was again a sold-out event! Together we raised £5,700 plus. Your support means the world to us and makes a real difference!

Here’s to more laughter, community, and impact!
