We had a brilliant time on Wednesday at The Hive for Families event organised by Guildford Borough Council . With many amazing organisations present, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect, share ideas and support each other’s work in the community. 💬🤝

We had the chance to meet inspiring organisations, speak with many local partners face-to-face, and also introduce some of our wellbeing activity leaders - including Les Bubka, who leads our therapeutic exercise sessions. 🥋

We’re looking forward to future collaborations and continuing to support mental health and wellbeing in the local community.

We will be hosting our next 2-day Adult Mental Health First Aid course on Wednesday 22nd and Thursday 23rd October 2025 at Guildford Borough Council offices in Guildford.

“The training was one of the most informative, rewarding things I have experienced for a number of years. I have learned so much about this subject and hope that the skills I now have as a Mental Health First Aider will assist someone who needs help in the future.” - MHFA Participant

Clients had a wonderful time on our recent outing to Alice Holt Forest - Forestry England! 🌿

Surrounded by peaceful woodland and fresh air, everyone felt more relaxed, grounded, and uplifted - a perfect reminder of the power of nature for our mental wellbeing.

We also took the opportunity to practise a simple grounding technique, which can help ease anxiety:
Pause and focus on...
🔸 5 things you can see
🔸 4 things you can touch
🔸 3 things you can hear
🔸 2 things you can smell
🔸 1 thing you can taste

It’s amazing what a moment of mindfulness in nature can do. 😊

Oakleaf celebrates the many faces of art through our wellbeing activities. 🎨

From painting and stitching to crafting and creative writing, we believe in the power of creativity to calm the mind and reconnect us with ourselves.

Art takes countless forms—and there’s a creative path for everyone to explore and express who they truly are.
