24th March 2025. Leeds Castle.

A night under the stars, transforming futures for survivors of abuse.

Are you a big-hearted business leader who’s up for a challenge? Could you sleep outdoors, in the iconic Leeds Castle, to support those made homeless by domestic abuse?

If so, sign up to the CEO Sleepout challenge now!

All you need is a sleeping bag, a desire to make change, and a commitment to raise £1,000 to help those who are homeless.

Over 1,100 adults were made homeless due to domestic abuse in Kent in 2022/3

Home should be a safe place. But for thousands across Kent & Medway, it isn’t. It is a place of anxiety, terror and violence. We support hundreds of adults and children each year who have no other option but to leave home. They are homeless. At Oasis we offer them a refuge; it isn’t quite home, but it’s a place of safety and security in which to recover, heal from trauma and take the first steps to building a new life. When they are ready, we help those families move into their own accommodation, where they can build their own home, and a new future.

CEO Sleepout is a global phenomenon, which has already brought together thousands of individuals from the business world and raised over £3.8 million for UK homelessness charities. Oasis is delighted to be involved in 2025 – will you join us?

Who can take part?

You don’t have to be a CEO; we are looking for business leaders and executives to join us.

What will the experience be like?

You will arrive in the evening and meet the other business superstars! Soup and hot drinks will be laid on before you spend the night under the stars. You can bring what you would like to sleep on and in, but it needs to be open to the elements . There will be an opportunity to hear more about the work of the charities who are being supported, and to network with the rest of the group. Cameraderie is guaranteed! After breakfast the next morning, you’ll no doubt leave with a huge sense of fulfilment, knowing that you have supported those who have lost their home.

Where will it be?

The beautiful Maiden Tower at Leeds Castle.

How will I be helping?

The aim of the challenge is to raise awareness of homelessness in Kent, and to raise money for the charities who are tackling it. All participants sign up to raise at least £1,000 in sponsorship, but the sky’s the limit – there will certainly be an element of competition between businesses!

All of the money you raise will go towards tackling homelessness and changing lives.

75% will be used by Oasis in supporting families who are made homeless due to domestic abuse.

25% will be divided between homelessness charities in the UK by CEO Sleepout UK.

I’m ready to sign up!

Brilliant! Sign up on the CEO Sleepout website (link below) – and do share this page with your business contacts – the more the merrier!
