GBA Women’s Wellness Webinar: Active After Dark: Making Female Safety a Priority for All

Wednesday 17 September 2025

72% of women in the UK change their outdoor activity routines in winter due to safety concerns. These aren’t just numbers, they’re a wake-up call. Women are consciously avoiding movement, changing routines, and feeling unsafe simply for trying to stay active. This needs to change. This isn’t just a conversation for women and girls, safety is a collective responsibility. It’s a call to action for men, allies, leaders, coaches, colleagues – we all need a seat at the table. Join our insightful webinar where we bring together voices from sport, advocacy and community action featuring excellent speakers from Our Streets Now, Boldli, England Athletics, and GoodGym.

Focus topics
  • The realities of safety concerns for women getting active outdoors.
  • How male allyship can make a real difference.
  • What can be done to embed safety-conscious, inclusive practice in active spaces.
  • How building strong, connected communities can help providers create safer, more inclusive spaces for women
Key speakers
