GG Kingston-upon-Thames x Let's Lift the Curfew: Loading the van for Growbaby’s move to Kingsgate

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

We have been asked to help at Growbaby - they are moving premises to Kingsgate Church and need boxes and items to be sorted into the van.

It’s going to need Goodgym power to get them sorted! This will take a group of us as there could be 50 boxes to move into place as well as prams and cots - there need to be lots of us so we can share the load!

We will be meeting at the Quaker Centre for 6.30pm and will run 2.5km to Growbaby, The Hub, 38 Surbiton Road, KT1 2JR. We will get there for approximately 7pm if you need to meet us there. We will be doing a 2.5km run back after the task ends.
