We're beyond thrilled and incredibly proud that Rhiane Fatinikun and Black Girls Hike are this year's recipients of the Royal Geographical Society's Geographical Award for their work enabling and empowering Black women and girls to connect with and enjoy being in the outdoors. “Black Girls Hike are honoured that our work to create a more inclusive outdoors has been recognised in this way," said Rhiane Fatinikun as the award was announced. "It reinforces the fact the work we do is necessary: we’d like to thank our volunteers and members as it really has been a community effort and we look forward to connecting more people with the outdoors.” You can read more about the 2022 Medals and Awards on the RGS website.
