GoodGym Cambridge x This Girl Can: Turtle Dove stock sort

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.

Join us to sort and repack all stock for Turtle Dove's events and vintage teas. 🫖

✅ Turtle Dove supports young women to build confidence and skills through hosting events, which involves a lot of kit. They have lots of donations that aren't being utilised fully, some coffee mugs that can't be located and issues with stock not being packed in the right boxes.

Cue GoodGym to help organise! 💪 From vintage china to coffee machines, we'll be sorting the lot. We will help with a deep clean of all the stock, create an inventory, and then repack in a more logical way. This will make it smoother to run events, both in terms of packing the van and making it quicker and easier to pack away at the end of the events.

Remember reflective clothing and/or lights.
