Flock Together is the brainchild of Nadeem Perera and Ollie Olanipekun. Started in Summer 2020 as the strictest lockdown restrictions in London were beginning to ease, Flock Together is a birdwatching club combating the under-representation of people of colour in nature and it has quickly become a highlight for its members, many of whom were completely new to the hobby. The group has grown rapidly via word of mouth; it currently has over 100 active members turning up for its monthly walks, with thousands more following Flock Together’s Instagram page.

This book will be their calling card and manifesto, a way to reach out further and further to more communities around the globe.

He works with young people in community centres and supporting schools in the East London area. Nadeem has overcome enormous mental roadblocks and trauma through his relationship with nature.
