ESEA people and voices are underrepresented and unheard in conversations about diversity in the outdoors.

🏞️ At ESEA Outdoors UK we are:

  1. fighting racism by celebrating ESEA representation, resilience and belonging in the outdoors
  2. building community and empowering ESEA people in the outdoors around the UK - our members are based in Glasgow, Bristol, Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh, London and more!
