Let’s Lift the Curfew: Helping Women Feel Safer to Be Active
Wednesday, October 14 | 12–1pm | Zoom

Women should have the freedom and confidence to be active outdoors at any time of day. However, concerns about harassment, intimidation and personal safety can affect when, where and how women choose to be active—particularly during the darker months.

Exploring This Girl Can’s Let’s Lift the Curfew campaign, this empowering and practical webinar will bring partners together to:

  • Understand the safety barriers women can experience during the darker months
  • Share experiences, challenges and examples of good practice
  • Learn from other partners working across Sussex
  • Identify practical actions that can help women feel safer, more confident and empowered to be active

The session will be useful for anyone working with women and is particularly relevant to the professional workforce, local clubs and groups, coaches, activity leaders and volunteers working across sport and physical activity.

Please feel free to share this opportunity with colleagues and partners who may be interested.

Physical Activity Clinical Champion Training
The PACC programme provides free face to face (online or in person) training to people working in healthcare, and this is delivered nationwide by a number of different physical activity champions. The aim of this training is to increase the knowledge, skills and confidence of practicing HCPs, enabling them to more effectively incorporate physical activity within their clinical care.
Training is relevant to all NHS healthcare professionals and usually takes 1-1.5 hours. Sessions can be tailored to be more relevant to specific services or conditions.
Cheryl Pretty is a paediatric physiotherapist based in Mid Sussex and is your local Physical Activity Champion delivering training across the Sussex region.
If you would like more information on how this training could work for you, please contact Cheryl c.pretty@nhs.net or keep an eye out for upcoming sessions with Active Sussex.

Active Sussex Learning principles

We are creating a safe, supportive space where everyone can learn and contribute in a way that works for them.

  • Be kind and respectful: Value different backgrounds and perspectives and treat everyone with empathy.

  • Listen with curiosity: Ask questions to understand, and challenge ideas without making assumptions.

  • Share and make space: Contribute your experiences, but step back so others can be heard.

  • Participate your way: Engage as you feel comfortable – it is always fine to pass, pause, or take a break.

  • Keep stories private: Share the lessons, not people’s names or personal details. Safeguarding issues must always be reported properly.

  • Turn learning into action: Focus on how you can use what you learn to make a positive impact.
