This Pride Month, let’s celebrate visibility, connection, and community by highlighting the amazing LGBTQ+ organisations, support groups, and inclusive services across Essex.
The Essex Map is a free community directory designed to help people find local support, activities, wellbeing services, charities, and community groups all in one place. It includes dedicated LGBTQ+ listings featuring organisations such as The OutHouse, Basildon Pride, MindOut, LGBTQ+ youth groups, and more.
Whether you’re:
🏳️🌈 Looking for support 🏳️⚧️ Searching for inclusive local services 💬 Wanting to connect with community groups 🤝 Or promoting an organisation that supports LGBTQ+ people
…the Essex Map is here to help.
Are you an organisation supporting the LGBTQ+ community?
You can add your service or group to the map for free, helping more people across Essex discover the support, spaces, and communities available to them.
This week is Dying Matters Awareness Week (4–10 May) – a national campaign led by Hospice UK encouraging more open conversations about death, dying and grief. The aim is to break down stigma, help people feel less alone, and make it easier to find support when it’s needed.
If you’re looking for support in Essex — or if your organisation offers services that could help others — The Essex Map is here for you.
💙 Whether you provide bereavement support, counselling, end of life care, community groups, practical advice or wellbeing services, you can add your organisation to the map and help people find the support they need.
🔎 And if you or someone you know needs guidance, care or support, you can explore local services here: https://www.essexmap.co.uk/
Because talking matters. Support matters. Community matters.
