Jo Cox

LWPSN Great Get Together

Standard

The LWPSN is proud to be part of this year’s parliamentary Great Get Together. The GGT happens up and down the country to remember Jo Cox, to show her famous phrase “We have far more in common than that which divides us”.

It is a cross-party event with many organisations which advocate for all the things Jo cared about – gender equity, democracy, compassion in politics – coming to meet, and an exciting guest speaker line up.

Run For Jo – 22 June 2025

Standard

The Run for Jo is part of the Great Get Together weekend and is all about bringing people together, there will be food, music, stalls and lots of fun! It is all about bringing people together and that means community, friends and family. Children are welcome on both the distances and the 2.5km fun run is ideal for all the family- even the dog can take part!

This year it is on the 22 June, which would have been Jo’s 51st birthday. The run itself is at Oakwell Hall, Birstall, however you can also sign up to do a virtual 10k challenge if Yorkshire is too far to travel.

Those of us who did it last year found it was a great way to get motivated to start running and get fit and active – it was an amazing community event and a brilliant way to celebrate Jo’s legacy. We are trying to make this year bigger and better than ever – so if you want to get involved in any way, please drop me a message 😊 or sign up here:
