Directory

Welcome to our Directory page. We have included links below to some of the organisations and individuals working to increase diversity in the UK outdoors and we have loosely categorised them.

These groups are not necessarily affiliated with All The Elements and, as such we cannot take responsibility for any activities that you take part in through them. Many of these groups are small community projects run by volunteers. Please make sure that you do your own checks, ask your own questions and make sure insurance is in place where it is required.
