A charity event which invites people to spend a night sleeping rough is returning to Oxford this week.
Oxfordshire Homeless Movement has teamed up with CEO Sleepout, a national charity aiming to unite the business sector in combating homelessness, to deliver the event.
The CEO Sleepout was formed in December 2013 by Andy Preston after two successful sleepout events and has raised £3.8 million for more than 100 charities to date.

The Oxford CEO sleepout will take place in University Parks tomorrow (Thursday, October 10) from 7.30pm until 6am the following morning.
It aims to bring together academic, charity, and business leaders in an effort to tackle homelessness, seek to provide participants with an understanding of what homelessness is like and raise awareness and funds.
Last year's sleepout in Oxford raised £76,500 for Oxfordshire Homeless Movement, with the money going towards the charity's frontline projects.
