GG Sheffield x Let's Lift the Curfew: Litter pick with Pitsmoor Pickers.

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.

Tonight's Task

We will be meeting with Karen and her crew from the Pitsmoor Pickers to litter pick the road, under vehicles, footpaths, bushes, gateways, yards to garages.

We will leave bags of litter and retrieved flytipping by a public bin where possible.

Please bring a head torch and your own gloves so we can get stuck straight in!

Meeting location:

Pitsmoor Road above the junction with Rock Street near the old railway path
