PSH Training & Workshop

with Our Streets Now

Join our workshops to learn more about preventing and addressing public sexual harassment. Online sessions hosted by Our Streets Now

No one should feel unsafe while exercising. As part of the connectMyClub ActiveSafe initiative, we are hosting specialist Public Sexual Harassment (PSH) workshops tailored for clubs and individuals who use our streets, parks, and public spaces to stay active.

Delivered by the experts at Our Streets Now, these sessions address the specific types of harassment faced by people exercising in public. We want to ensure that every runner, cyclist, and walker can focus on their performance, not their safety.
