Could Zzjimi (Shimmy) help more people discover your club?

Many of us recognise that staying active, connected and involved in our communities becomes increasingly important as we get older. With loneliness and social isolation affecting millions of people across the UK, opportunities to meet others, take part in activities and feel part of a community can make a real difference to our wellbeing.

For orienteering clubs, this presents an opportunity to reach people who may never have considered trying the sport before. Orienteering naturally combines exercise, time outdoors, mental stimulation, problem-solving and social interaction, making it a great fit for people looking for new activities, new friendships or meaningful ways to get involved in their local community.

Clubs can create a free account and upload events, activities and volunteering opportunities through a simple dashboard. Users can search for opportunities based on their interests, save activities to a wish list and receive notifications when relevant opportunities are added.

Could this bring new people to my club? Could it help us find volunteers?

Zzjimi is specifically designed to help people discover activities and opportunities that are meaningful to them. Whether someone is looking to improve their wellbeing, learn a new skill, spend more time outdoors, meet new people or give something back through volunteering, the platform can help connect them with local clubs and organisations. For orienteering clubs, this creates another route to reach potential participants and volunteers who may not have otherwise discovered the sport.

Could I find other opportunities myself? How much effort is involved? Is it free?

As well as promoting clubs and events, Zzjimi enables individuals to explore a wide range of community activities, volunteering roles and wellbeing opportunities. The platform is completely free for both organisations and individuals to use. Club administration is minimal, with events automatically removed once they have taken place and available to reactivate in future, making it a simple and effective way to showcase what your club has to offer.

For clubs looking to increase their visibility, attract new audiences and strengthen connections within their local community, Zzjimi offers an easy-to-use platform that requires little ongoing management while helping more people discover the many benefits of orienteering.
