GoodGym Bath x Let's Lift the Curfew: Making Sydney Gardens Look Amazing!

Let's Lift the Curfew 2026: join us for a special session

Tonight we're joining forces with This Girl Can and their Let's Lift the Curfew campaign.

When the clocks go back on Sunday 25 October, millions of women across the UK will once again see their world get smaller as the nights get darker.

Safety concerns affect where they go, when they go, who they go with and whether they can be active outdoors at all.

Whether shaped by past experiences, stories they've heard, or not feeling comfortable or confident in a particular place after dark, many women are unable to be active outdoors or use public spaces in the same way that men do.

In fact, nearly three-quarters (72%) of women in the UK change their outdoor activity routines during winter. Let's Lift the Curfew challenges this reality to ensure no woman has to change where, when or how she gets active because of safety concerns.

You can read about, and complete, GoodGym's own training on this issue here.

Tonight's Task

Meeting for a short run to the Mission - 09:45 at Bath Sports and Leisure Centre if you are running, or 10:00 at Sydney Gardens - find us on the larger of the two bridges over the Railway.

The Volunteer Team at Sydney Gardens have a long list of tasks for us to help with throughout the year, from planting bulbs to reinvigorating the sand in the play area. This wonderful oasis of calm in the centre of Bath continues to be supported by a large volunteer community and we are privileged to be part of it.
