About this session
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
Wednesday evening group sessions are all about coming together as a big team and heading out together to a practical task out in the community.
We meet up at 6:45 at the outdoor stage opposite the Hat Factory on Bute Street, where we say hi to eachother and warm up for the run.
This week we're going to the Penrose Roots garden, Pete's having some time off so we'll meet Lynne and tackle whatever tasks the allotment has for us. Likely a bit of weed pulling, digging/raking over and preparing the garden for winter.
Walkers are welcome most weeks if the distance to the task isn't too far. We might send you off a bit early so we arrive at similar times.
Bikers are welcome too but make sure you've got lights and are happy riding in the road when we're not on cycle paths.
This task supports
Penrose – Roots is a award-winning community based recovery service providing easily accessible platforms to build skills, friendships, social networks, and community engagement based in Luton.

Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym group run, with the option of walking too. You'll meet other GoodGymers at the start location and run or walk to the task together. If you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact your area activator David Mansfield by email at davidmansfield@goodgym.org.
The total distance of this group run is 5km.
Remember that we will be running or walking to and from the task, so you'll only be running or walking for half this distance in one go.
