Lucy Cooper

Co-founder
Dykes Who Hike

Lucy is a Creator at VCCP, and co-founder of Dykes Who Hike, a community group for LGBTQ+ women, trans and non-binary people that has racked up over 13,000 followers in just a few months. Social media has always been a huge part of her life - starting out as “Cheese Girl” on TikTok thanks to her #FunCheeseFacts working at a supermarket - and now as a Creator, working to make internet-famous work across VCCP’s clients using her social-first expertise.

In 2024, Lucy collaborated with co-founder Yas Message to create Dykes Who Hike, a group focused on building community and spaces for LGBTQ+ women that gets people outdoors and doesn't rely on alcohol. Since it started, they’ve hosted hundreds of queer women on hikes across the UK, all supported by the social media account curated by Lucy.
