ESEA Outdoors UK

We are a grassroots community celebrating East & Southeast Asian representation in the UK outdoors and fighting racism.

#diversifyoutdoorsuk #representationmatters

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 Scotland, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, London, Bristol and more!
