Aston & James MD, Darren Aston, took part in The Sleepout fundraiser at University College sports ground. Approximately 50 business, academic, and community leaders took part.

What is the Sleepout about?
The event is part of World Homeless Day, and OHM, Oxfordshire Homeless Movement, used it to raise awareness of the realities of homelessness. This one night gives participants a small glimpse of what homeless people experience every night, making the event vital for raising awareness about local homelessness.
The weather wasn't kind to us; it was very wet and windy, but with high spirits from the other participants, it kept our morale up as we all pushed through.
The Oxford CEO Sleepout 2023 event raised a whopping £75,000 for (OHM), Oxfordshire Homeless Movement. All the donations go directly to front-line projects.
