Lovetts Solicitors and Oakleaf: Supporting Mental Health in the Community
At Lovetts Solicitors, we recognise that mental health is important, not just in the workplace but throughout society. That is why we are proud to support Oakleaf, a Guildford-based mental health charity providing essential services to those in need.
Since 2020, Lovetts has been a committed corporate partner of Oakleaf, helping to fund mental health support and raising awareness about the challenges individuals face. Our partnership has directly contributed to funding the equivalent of 210 counselling sessions, offering crucial support to people who may have otherwise struggled to access professional help.
Jen Clay, Head of Partnerships at Oakleaf, commented:
“We are hugely grateful to Lovetts Solicitors, who have been a committed corporate partner of Oakleaf since January 2020. The direct donations they have provided since then could fund the equivalent of 210 counselling sessions for Oakleaf clients, making a profound positive impact on so many individuals managing their mental health in the Surrey community. Thanks to Lovetts’ ongoing support, people who may have otherwise struggled to access counselling have found a safe space to build resilience, improve their wellbeing, and regain confidence in their daily lives. Lovetts has been invaluable in helping Oakleaf sustain and grow the many vital services the charity offers.”
The Mental Health Founders Network
As part of our commitment, Lovetts is a member of Oakleaf’s Mental Health Founders Network, attending quarterly meetings to discuss workplace mental health and encourage more open conversations on the topic. Businesses play a vital role in ensuring that employees have the support they need, and through this network, we are helping to drive real change.
Ongoing Support and Sponsorship
Lovetts was also proud to be the headline sponsor for Oakleaf’s Annual Quiz Night in March 2025, an event attended by 170 guests. By sponsoring this event, we ensured that 100% of ticket sales and funds raised can go directly toward supporting Oakleaf’s mental health services.
Michael Higgins, Managing Director of Lovetts Solicitors, shared:
“It was a pleasure to sponsor Oakleaf’s annual quiz night. We are proud to be associated with Oakleaf, who provide vital mental health support and give people within the community self-belief through work-based skills training. The quiz is always a really enjoyable evening, and I am pleased that we were able to raise funds for such a great charity.”
We are also supporting several upcoming initiatives:
- Summer Soirée (Friday 13th June 2025): A fundraising event featuring live music, lawn games, a hog roast, and a live auction to raise money for Oakleaf.
- Mental Health First Aid Training (June 2025): A two-day training programme designed to equip individuals with the skills needed to support those facing mental health challenges.
- Mental Health Leaders Network: A growing community of businesses and professionals working together to prioritise mental health in the workplace.
A Shared Commitment to Mental Wellbeing
Mental health is a growing concern in the business world, and organisations must take an active role in supporting their employees. At Lovetts, we are proud to be working alongside Oakleaf to ensure that individuals in our community receive the help they need.
