Own The Night | Get Involved

How to Get Involved  

• Launch evening, Thursday 1st October 2026 

• Lead the Change Wales Workshop – FREE!  

Have you ever heard a joke, comment or insult against women or girls and wished you’d said something to challenge it? Maybe you’ve seen something you weren’t okay with – but didn’t have the confidence or skills to intervene? This 2 hour introductory course to bystander training will empower people to speak up, offer help, and decrease the likelihood of violence occurring. 

Lead the Change is part of Welsh Government strategy to make Wales the safest country in Europe to be a woman and to de-normalise sexual harassment and violence in all parts of society. Welsh Athletics are working with Lead The Change Wales to deliver a workshop as part of their Own The Night Campaign. This workshop welcomes anyone over the age of 18. 

IN PERSON Saturday 3rd October 2026 10.30-12.30pm at Cardiff International Sports Campus
