The aim of the Essex Map is to promote the work of community organisations in Essex, and help local residents to access services that are available to them.

As a social enterprise, you are invited to add a free listing for your organisation. You can add multiple listings, should you feel that your services would be better listed individually to help users understand the work you do. To add your free listing(s), visit www.EssexMap.co.uk/register
