CEO Sleepout Oxford
On October 9th, 2025, business and community leaders from across Oxford will be giving up their beds for one night to take part in the CEO Sleepout, a national initiative raising vital funds to tackle homelessness and poverty in the UK.
Founded in 2013, CEO Sleepout brings together leaders willing to step outside their comfort zones and experience, for just one night, the harsh reality faced by thousands of people every day. The money raised goes directly to frontline services and charities working to support those facing homelessness and extreme hardship.
Response CEO Nicola Leavesley will be Taking Part
We’re proud to share that Nicola Leavesley, CEO of Response, will be taking part in the CEO Sleepout Oxford again, to stand in solidarity with those experiencing homelessness in our community.
Nicola is passionate about mental health and housing support, and by taking part in the Sleepout, she’s raising awareness and crucial funds, to support Response’s frontline services. These services provide life-changing support for people facing mental ill-health, housing insecurity, and complex needs.
“This is about more than just one night outdoors. It’s about showing we care, taking action, and raising money that directly helps people in real need.”
— Nicola Leavesley, CEO of Response
