‘Helping people survive crisis & recover control in their lives’
Sussex Oakleaf is a charitable organisation providing services across Sussex. More than 2,000 people use our services; we employ 170 people and have a turnover of £4m. We believe in empowering people, promoting recovery and independence. Our services include supported housing, registered care, information/advice and community services to people who have mental health and/or substance misuse needs, young people and people at risk of becoming homeless. We are a local organisation, nationally networked, using innovative and enterprising responses to the changing environment.
