Hello & thanks for visiting our fundraising page! : )
As you may or may not know a small group of us from Oxford Christadelphian Church will be joining in with the annual Oxford Sleep-Out this Saturday 15th Nov. We will be sleeping over night in a local churchyard with lots of other people in order to raise awareness & funds for the vital work of all the Oxford homeless charities.

If you would like to support us in doing this, here's how you can help...

1) Come join us! Fancy sleeping under the stars? It could actually be fun : )

2) You can pay to sleep in the comfort of your bed at http://www.oxfordsleepout.moonfruit.com/#/sleepin/4531397183

We are hoping to use this sponsored sleep-out as the start to a much greater involvement in supporting the homeless charities in Oxford. So please if you are able we would really really appreciate your support!
