Service Description
OWNS are still recruiting and training volunteers for the 2025 Oxford Winter Night Shelter season. To apply to become a volunteer for 2025 please complete the online sign up.
The OWNS night shelter runs every night from January to the end of March and offers a bed for the night to those who are rough sleeping.
To access a bed, adults need to be currently rough sleeping and can be referred by St Mungo's Outreach, the Gatehouse, The Porch and Crisis.
The shelter changes venue each night on a weekly cycle. All 7 venues are easily accessible from the city centre. Guests will need to arrive at the shelter venue between 9.30-10.30pm where they will be met by a team of friendly volunteers who will offer a hot drink, and a snack and allocate a bed and bedding. The aim is to provide a relaxed and safe environment and enable a good night's sleep.
