What are groups? #
Groups are community spaces within Zora that bring people together based on shared interests, needs, or location. Each group may focus on:
-
Neighbourhoods or cities (e.g. “South London Parents”)
-
Topics (e.g. “Finding Work in the UK” or “Diaspora Wellness”)
-
Lifestyles and journeys (e.g. “Newly Arrived”, “Queer Migrants”, “Mums in the UK”)
-
Events or projects
-
Cultural identities or languages
Groups can be public, private, or invite-only — and each one has its own vibe and rules.

How to join a group #
Once you have found a group you’re interested in:
-
Click on the group name to open the group page.
-
If it is:
-
Public: Click Join Group and you will become a member immediately.
-
Private: Click Request to Join and wait for approval from a group host or moderator.
-
Invite-only: You’ll need a direct invitation from someone already in the group.
-
Once you’re in, the group’s content will begin appearing in your activity feed.
What can I do inside a group? #
Each group has its own wall or forum where you can:
-
Post updates, questions, or thoughts
-
Respond to others
-
Share events, links, or media
-
Attend group-specific meetups or initiatives
-
Chat with fellow members
Some groups also have their own rules, moderators, or projects — so take a moment to read pinned posts or group descriptions.
Can I create my own group? #
Yes! If you have an idea for a group that does not yet exist — and you are ready to host it — you can request to create one.
Visit the Create Group page and fill in the details.
Note: Only Hosts, Partner Communities, and Premium Users can create groups. This helps keep group spaces intentional and active.
