Who are we?
Founded in 2023, Trekkers UK is a Birmingham based, not for profit community organisation creating joyful, inclusive spaces for the Global Majority to connect with nature, move their bodies and vibe outdoors.
We bring people together through feel-good wellbeing walkshops, countryside hikes, retreats and outdoor adventures that support mental, physical and social wellbeing. Rooted in the Five Ways to Wellbeing, our experiences are more than just walks; They’re about laughter, community, good conversation and that lighter feeling you get after time spent in nature.
Whether it’s a gentle local stroll or a countryside strideout hike, Trekkers UK exists to help our community reset, recharge and reconnect with nature, with each other and with themselves. We centre fun and cultural belonging, all whilst making nature connection a positive, accessible and mentally nourishing part of life.
What’s the mission?
As a Birmingham-led, not for profit organisation, we use nature connection to support mental and physical wellbeing, foster joy, and nurture collective care. We actively respond to the stress, burnout, and disconnection often experienced in inner-city life. Guided by the Five Pathways to Nature Connectedness (Contact, Beauty, Emotion, Meaning, and Compassion) we create spaces where people can pause, feel safe, and experience nature and outdoor adventure as restorative rather than intimidating.
Our mission is to diversify green spaces, dismantle cultural and structural barriers to the outdoor adventure, and cultivate a future where caring for mental health through nature connection is normal, accessible, and joyful for everyone in our community.

Join us for a calming and restorative gentle walk and Forest Bathing session led by Dominique Deleon.
Immerse yourself in Shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of “forest bathing.” This experience isn’t about distance, fitness goals, or reaching a destination. It’s about slowing down, reconnecting, and resetting your nervous system.
Through gentle, unhurried movement, you’ll be guided to:
Shift your awareness from doing to simply being
Breathe in the natural, immune-boosting compounds released by trees
Notice the intricate patterns and beauty of the natural world
Quiet the mental noise of everyday life
Throughout the session, you’ll receive simple invitations to help you unplug, become present, and fully connect with your surroundings. There will be time for stillness, reflection, and mindful awareness.
