Eighty8 Fitness brings Canberra Together

In May, Eighty8 Fitness joined forces with Barnardos Canberra to raise awareness for youth homelessness through their amazing initiative called, NightShift.

The team at Eighty8 Fitness identified a group of people who were shift workers or first responders who typically exercise at odd hours. They decided to put this incredible runner’s group together called NightShift, where anyone can join in and run, walk, or cycle a loop of 5-7km. The intention is to bring people together, exercise in a group, and bring that sense of community together.

This round, Eighty8 Fitness partnered with Barnardos Canberra through its NightShift initiative to raise awareness of youth homelessness and mental health, demonstrating how businesses and community organisations can work together to create meaningful impact.

Watch the video below to hear from Sophie from the NightShift team and Pat from Barnardos Canberra about the importance of connection, community, and supporting young people to build on their strengths.
