CEO Sleepout

Event Details

Clothing

It is going to be a true winter’s night – cold and wet. Please bring some wet weather gear and make sure you wear warm, casual clothes. You may like to bring extra layers. We will provide a beanie and gloves. A room is available to store your bags. Please keep all valuables items on your person.

Bedding

Cardboard will be provided for you to sleep on or to build a shelter.  Bring your own sleeping bag and a pillow (and torch).  No airbeds, swags or luxury bedding items allowed.  This event is about the experience with time for reflection.

Food

You can’t bring your own, sorry.  Fred’s Van will be serving a basic meal of soup, bread rolls, tea and coffee.  Breakfast will also be provided in the morning.  Alcohol is strictly off limits.

Weather

This is an experiential event which introduces you to elements of sleeping rough.  Regardless of the weather, the event will go ahead – so there are no excuses!

Arrival time

The event starts at 6.00pm. On arrival, please make your way to the registration desk. There will be ushers at the entrance to show you the way.
