GoodGym Liverpool x #LetsLiftTheCurfew: Teaming up with Friends of Everton Park!

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.

Welcome to GoodGym Liverpool

We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every Monday evening to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations and projects across Liverpool.

Most Group Runs will be lead one of our fabulous volunteer qualified Run Leaders, but watch out for ones listed as 'Social Runs' as this means no Run Leader is present but we still go out and run together keeping our 'no one left beind' GoodGym vibe in place!

The Task

The Friends of Everton Park work hard throughout the year to keep this valued local park in tip top shape. We've had a great relationship with the team over the years working with them from Spring to Autumn carrying out a variety of tasks to help out.

This week we'll be back at the Everton Park Community Garden on prunce Edwin Street https://w3w.co/turkey.origin.usage

We'll be dismantling the last two raised beds to complete the change over from the crumbling wood to new raised beds.

All tools will be provided but please bring your own gloves!

As the evenings are now dark also bring your head/chest torch!

Runners meet at the Suitcases on Hope Street ready for 6:30pm for a warm up and a run to the task. What 3 Words meet up link
