The Essex Map – Next years drop ins

Posted on: January 4, 2024

The re-launch brings about new features and an improved user experience, meaning it has never been easier to find activities, groups and services in your area. The Essex Map is a real asset for organisations within the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise sector, as well as the statutory and local government. It provides the opportunity to put a voice out there for services and activities that support the needs of the local community and helps them to thrive. If you feel something is missing that supports the wider Essex community, please add it on to the Essex Map.

New features of the Essex Map include:

  • A Franchise Option – if your organisation covers multiple locations, you can now set up a ‘franchise’. This is an option for when you set up a new listing or edit an old one. Please contact us if you need help with this.
  • Set Up a List – within your account, you can now set up a list. Simply click on a listing you like, on the top right hand side there is a blue button that says “save to list”. You can choose if you’d like your list to be public or private.
  • Verified Tick – to receive a verified tick, you will need to claim your own listing. Please contact us if you need help with this.
  • Last Updated – you can now see when the listing you are viewing was ‘last updated’ at the bottom right hand side of the page.
  • ‘New’ Badge – if the listing is new, it will have a ‘new’ button show up for a few days.

If you need support with any of these new features, or help navigating the new Essex Map, we will be hosting drop in sessions online with a member of the Map team who will be able to answer any questions and help you with your query.
