About Touch Grass

Touch Grass is an outdoor community for queer women, trans and non-binary people of colour.

We are committed to fostering community growth through outdoor gatherings and wellness-focused trips that encourage us to rekindle our relationship with nature. Our immersive experiences go beyond relaxation — they're about empowerment, healing, and forging meaningful connections.

Our vision is for queer people of colour to see the outdoors as a space where we belong. A 2020 report by Friends of the Earth found that nearly 40% of people from minority ethnic backgrounds in England live in the most green space-deprived neighbourhoods, compared with only 14% of white people — and that people from minority ethnic backgrounds are significantly less likely to spend time in the countryside than white people. We want to change this. We deserve joyful, safe access to the emotional well-being and physical health benefits of nature too.

We believe creativity and nature go hand in hand, which is why most of our events encourage you to embrace nature and your inner creative spirit.

About Inter Melanin FC

Inter Melanin is a football club for women, trans and non-binary people who are Black and of Colour. For people who deserve to see themselves in football. To build communities. To belong. To play.

Since creating Inter Melanin, we have expanded into three teams - Inter Melanin South London, and Inter Melanin North London, with over 400 people on our waiting list. It has evolved to become not just a football team, but a form of community care.

Our mission is to get as many women and non-binary people who are Black and of Colour on the pitch as possible. We’re winning when we’re supporting our entire community, not just the people on our teams. We want Inter Melanin to grow as a platform because when we have a stage, our voices can be heard.
