GoodGym Greenwich x #LetsLiftTheCurfew: Helping at Glyndon Community Centre

Hi everyone and welcome to GoodGym Greenwich!

Support 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're a friendly and social group who combine running with volunteering in the local community. We meet every Wednesday to get active and do a physical task for charities and community organisations in the area.

The Task

We will be running about 1km from the station to Glyndon Community Centre where we'll be helping out with odd jobs. This is a perfect run if you're new to GoodGym or new to running. It is also a walkable distance so you are welcome to join us at whatever pace - we never ever leave anyone behind!

Where & When

We meet at 6.45pm for a 7 o'clock start at the Woolwich Elizabeth Line station. The what three words location is ///hears.single.ports. The session will be about 90 minutes in total so we should be all wrapped up by 8.30pm. Please get in touch with Rachel on 07952192005 if you can't find us!

What to bring

Please bring a headtorch if you have one, otherwise it's just you.

See you then 😁
