Portsmouth is a beautiful waterfront city full of inspirational people, organisations and amazing heritage. In October 2021 Seekers successfully raised over £10k with support from Crowdfunder and Portsmouth City Council to bring all this together into one beautiful trail.
Portsmouth Diverse City Trail connects our people and entrepreneurial spirit to create a community that enhances the best of what we have to offer. Showcasing the lesser-known neighbourhoods of Portsmouth. Enabling organisations and volunteers to create a brighter future.

Enabling collaboration, education, health and heritage into one beautiful trail showcasing little known parts of Portsmouth. From North to South via the West coast. We bring simple clarity to the UN Sustainability Goals, making them local, relevant and easy to understand. Families, local charities, businesses and individuals that engage with the project can learn to make a difference in their own way.
We encourage Portsmouth residents to access their streets, parks and venues within walking distance of their homes. Portsmouth has many interesting locations and stories that are not accessed as often as they should be. The trail links these locations to the rich local heritage and nature, reducing carbon emissions and helping people to connect with their local community. This also brings mental and physical benefits by connecting with nature. |

Your Support
Our Crowdfunder went live on the 12th October 2021. We raised more than £10k to enable us to create Portsmouth’s Diverse City Trail for the community to enjoy. We worked with a team of young people to inspire them to research points of interest and plan the trail route. The young people designed and created our trail maps for local people and visitors to follow.
Seekers smashed our Crowdfunder target of £5k. Portsmouth City Council match funded us another £5k. Seekers believe the Portsmouth Diverse City Trail is a fantastic opportunity to support Portsmouth‘s domestic tourism offer. We’re excited about the possibility of training and developing local community leaders to use Portsmouth Diverse City Trail as a tool, resource and guide to develop their own projects. If you would like to collaborate on the trail we would love to hear from you to discuss further.
