At Zizzi, we’re on a constant journey to be better than yesterday and we believe that contributing to positive change helps us do this.

We know that there’s a strong link between good mental health and making things happen, and that we play an important role in supporting our teams to grow, which is why we’ve partnered with the Mental Health Foundation (MHF) as our charity partner. MHF provide support, protection, and information about mental health, and have been the front runners in creating positive change for over 70 years.

Along with Pennies donations and money raised at our Zizzi events, our teams will be taking part in fundraising challenges throughout the year to raise vital donations for MHF. We know that mental health can impact everyone in some way or another and so our aim is to raise money and provide the tools necessary to help promote good Mental Health for all.

Together, let’s make it happen!

Climb the highest freestanding mountain in the world!

Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain on the African continent at 5869m. Its snow-capped summit rises high above the dusty African plains; massive permanent glaciers flow down from the summit, and spectacular views and beautiful ice formations are the rewards for pushing your limits physically and mentally. This is more than just a climb; it’s an adventure of a lifetime.
