Date and time
18:30 - 20:00Support This Girl Can and Let's Lift the Curfew
Sport England's This Girl Can campaign seeks to change how women think and feel about sport & physical activity and encourage women to be active in ways that work for them, regardless of age, background or ability.
Let’s Lift The Curfew launched in 2023 to showcase women’s stories and concerns around getting active outdoors in the darker months when the clocks go back, as well as calling on wider society to acknowledge their role in making getting active outdoors safer for women.
This year, This Girl Can is looking to go bolder and bigger, so they are supporting GoodGym to help transform the campaign into an annual movement that can raise awareness and take critical steps towards making outdoor exercise safer for women.
How to support the campaign
Read up: GoodGym has also produced training for male allies to help contribute towards women’s safety at night that would be good to circulate with any male members.
Clothing considerations: Front and rear runners should ideally wear high-visibility, brightly coloured clothing. Where possible encourage members to use reflective clothing and have some members use headlamps or handheld lights for visibility.
Sharing the event: Use #LetsLiftTheCurfew in all social media related to your event. We'd love to see running leaders and members livestream and post videos and pictures from your LLTC run using the hashtag to build momentum across social media.
The task this week
We have had a change of plan from the original listing as there are some issues getting access to the school during half term. However, we're sticking with the original theme by heading back to Strand on the Green school to help fill a skip of unwanted items so that the space can be enjoyed by the students.
We will follow this with a fun fitness session.
Please bring gloves and head torch if you have them.

New to GoodGym?
This is a GoodGym group run, where we run to help a local community organisation and then run back.
New GoodGymers are welcome to GoodGym group runs - no one gets left behind. You're unlikely to be alone, hundreds of new people sign up every week.

here's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Chiswick Town Hall, and Chiswick Town Hall and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages

Hi Anastasia. I would like to meet you all at Green Dragon School tomorrow evening rather than Chiswick Town Hall as that is near my home in Brentford. Do you have details of where to meet at what time. Thanks Breda
Hi Breda. Unfortunately our task for the evening has changed-I've updated the listing above. We'll now be at Strand on the Green school, arriving at the task at around 18:45. See you then!
OK thanks for the update Anastasia. I will meet you there. Is it the Strand on the Green Junior School at
Thames Road, Chiswick, W4 3NX
