Governance
The Network is made up of two types of members to comply with charity law. They are:
• Full Members with voice and vote: Individuals who live, work or study in the London Borough of Enfield. Individuals representing voluntary sector organisations providing services to residents of the London Borough of Enfield.
- Associate Members with voice only:
Individuals representing statutory sector organisations providing services to residents of the London Borough of Enfield.
Although associate members do not have a vote under our constitution, they are nevertheless a valuable and valued part of our management committee and fully participate in all discussions relating to the governance, leadership and visioning of the organisation. We always strive to reach a consensus amongst both voting and non-voting members.
3) Objectives and Activities
Before the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans) Network came together there were no dedicated services for the LGBT community in Enfield. Although there were voluntary and statutory organisations in the borough which had LGBT clients, many were unsure of how to make their service appropriate and more accessible to this ‘hard to reach’ community. Many were also aware that LGBT people felt unable or unwilling to access their services. The London Borough of Enfield has no commercial gay venues, and it is therefore very easy for LGBT residents to feel isolated and excluded.
It was for these reasons that the Network was envisaged in June 2003.
The Enfield LGBT Network is a consortium of voluntary and statutory sector organisations and individuals living, working or studying in the borough. Its aim is to improve the quality of life for, and services to, the LGBT people of Enfield.
1
We do this through providing support services directly to our community and by supporting other service providers in making their services more appropriate to the needs of the LGBT community. The Network also participates in a large number of consultancy and advisory groups across the borough and beyond representing the LGBT Community.
The Enfield LGBT Network currently facilitates a wide range of services and support groups to the LGBT population of Enfield. These include:
-
Hate Crime Reporting and Support Services – to assist people experiencing homophobic and transphobic hate crime to report it to the authorities and to support them at every stage
-
LGBT Group – This weekly peer support group offers a supportive environment for the LGBT community to gain peer support and empowerment. (There are no Gay commercial venues in Enfield).
-
HIV Positive Gay Men’s Group – This monthly peer support group offers a supportive environment for HIV Positive Gay Men to gain peer support and empowerment. This group is also attended by a complementary therapist and a welfare rights worker.
-
Lesbian and Bisexual Women’s Group - This monthly peer support group offers a supportive environment for Lesbian and Bisexual Women to gain peer support and empowerment.
-
Trans Support Sessions – The Network hosts one-to-one support sessions by appointment for clients that identify as Trans. This includes, but is not limited to: men and women with transsexual pasts, intersex, and people who identify as transsexual, transgender, androgyne, genderqueer, intergender, gender variant or with any other gender identity and/or expression which is not standard male or female.
-
Counselling Service – Generic service for the LGBT client group.
-
Sexual Health Support and Referral Services – Advice, information and support for any LGBT person concerned about their sexual health including condom provision.
-
Same Sex Domestic Violence Referral and Support Service - Advice, information and support for any LGBT person experiencing Domestic Violence.
-
Youth Peer Support Group (Proud) – This six times a month peer support group aims to support 14-25 year olds dealing with the issues of their sexuality, sexual Identity or gender dysphoria. This is a joint venture between ECYPS and the Network.

4) Achievements and Performance
It has been another year of consolidation and growth for the Network, with more groups wanting our input and expertise.
Throughout the year we have exceeded the targets set in our grants from the Third Sector Development Team and Public Health.
This year Covid has dramatically affected the way we work and how we support our members. All the face-to-face support groups had to close due to lockdown regulations. Our counselling service moved rapidly on-line, and I am grateful to our counsellors for being so adaptable and learning new skills as they went along.
The Youth Group (Proud North London) has been led by our partner Enfield Children & Young Persons Service and has also gone on-line supporting its members virtually. During the year we have been able to refer several clients for support whilst we have continued to support parents of LGBT young people.
This year we have been able to continue to represent LGBT people in Enfield virtually as all the many meetings migrated to Teams and Zoom. Hate Crime, Physical and Sexual Health services remain our high priority areas.
Working with the council CSU we have established Third Party Reporting Locations across the borough and trained appointed staff within those organisations. We hope that this will encourage victims of Hate Crime to come and talk to us and report the crimes they are experiencing.

The website had a complete makeover this year and now looks fresh and vibrant, it is also now works better on phones and tablets than the old site.
The Public Health funding we received for facilitating a HIV Positive Gay Men’s Support Group and LGBT representation and support continues with our priority of promoting the new and improved GUM service in the borough. We are keen to work with THT and support this work. Following a long campaign, PreP became available from Enfield’s clinics but unfortunately in very small numbers. Working with THT we hope to restart HIV testing at the centre soon.
The Lancaster Centre (our base of operations) has struggled this year as lockdown affected all of the groups based in the centre. The funding application submitted to the Lottery to support development and running of the centre was successful. This has meant that we have a secure base to facilitate our services from for the next five years.
5) Financial Review
This is our sixteenth year as a charity. This year we have had our accounts examined by The Greene Partnership. Five members of the Executive are signatories to the account and all cheques require two signatures and all payment request forms need a second signature. A financial statement is presented at each board meeting by the Treasurer. Additionally, the Treasure and Manager meet regularly to discuss finances.
Income
-
Funding has been received this year from:
-
London Borough of Enfield Third Sector Development Team - £25,000
-
London Borough of Enfield Public Health - £12,000
-
EVA Staying in Touch Project – £1,273
-
Lottery grant for Lancaster Centre - £39,395
-
Other earned income - £2,029
Money was received for the following:
Enfield Third Sector Development Team - Towards Network Manager’s salary.
Enfield Public Health – To facilitate support groups including HIV positive gay men’s, counselling services and provide LGBT strategic representation.
EVA Staying in Touch Project – This grant is to assist us to maintain contact with our regular members during 22 weeks of lockdown.
4
Lottery grant for Lancaster Centre – This is the first year of a 5-year grant supporting the reestablishment of the Lancaster Centre. There is a tapering off contribution towards the rent and funding for the Centre Manager.
Costs of governance and volunteers
Most members of the organisation give of their valuable time voluntarily or as an additional part of their regular paid employment and take on the responsibilities of representing their organisation on the Network in addition to their existing work load, for which we are very grateful.
We do, however, cover travel costs for those volunteers not funded by the organisation they represent, to attend our meetings and events or, when representing the Network at other meetings.
Cost of generating funds
Funding applications and attending meetings with regard to funding is an integral part of the Network Manager’s post. The Network Manager does this with the assistance of other members of the Management Committee.
6) This Year
Our Manager, Tim Fellows, is employed directly by the Network. Even with a Manager in post we are very dependent upon the hard work and input of our volunteer members who do much of the work. Appendix A lists all member organisations.
Community Involvement
Our input on various service provision groups is in great demand. It is encouraging that increasing numbers of organisations are recognising the need to be more proactive about making their services appropriate for the LGBT community. However, this places great demands upon our member of staff and is an area of work we have had to think carefully about again this year. We have therefore had to decline requests to participate in groups due to lack of capacity. To assist with this, some of our members have taken on representing the Network:
-
Lynne on the Domestic Violence Forum & Domestic Violence Strategic Group
-
Janet on North Area Violence Reduction Partnership Board and occasionally on London Communities Policing Partnership Chairs Forum.
-
It is difficult for members to attend daytime meetings, as many are in full time employment.
Funding
Due to the decrease last year in the Third Sector Development Team grant our budget was to use £5,000 from our reserve each year to supplement the shortfall. At years end we had only used £1,269 of that this year.
Membership
We now have 14 full members and 12 associate members, not including individual members. See appendix A.
5
Support Groups
We have continued with seven support groups and activities which are cofacilitated by different organisations:
-
Hate Crime and DV Reporting and Support Service – Metropolitan Police and London Borough of Enfield Community Safety Units
-
Lesbian & Bi Women’s Group – Diane LGBT Network
-
LGBT Tuesday Group – Unison and independent members
-
Transgender Persons 1-2-1 Support – Peta
-
Sexuality and Trans awareness training - Peta
-
Youth Group (Proud) – Enfield Children and Young Peoples Service
-
Counselling Service Clinical supervisors – Dawn Barrass, Dawn Burlton, Janet Jackson
-
Counselling Service Volunteers – Douglas Maitland-Jones, Penny Sofroniou, Jacey Webster
-
HIV Positive Gay Men’s Group – LGBT Network
7) Next Year
There are eight main objectives for the coming year:
-
(i) To continue to provide the services already established.
-
(ii) To promote the work of the Network across the voluntary and statutory sectors in Enfield and to continue to raise issues relevant to the LGBT community with service providers.
-
(iii) To represent and give voice to the LGBT community of Enfield.
-
(iv) To ensure that the Network remains financially viable and to develop additional funding streams for existing and/or new services.
-
(v) To participate in consultations and influence policy making in Enfield, Greater London and the UK.
-
(vi) To develop sexual health services alongside Terence Higgins Trust.
-
(vii) To establish the Lancaster Centre as a financial sustainable entity.
-
(viii) To re-establish services post Covid 19.
8) Conclusion
The year ahead will hold many challenges as the work is developed and progressed, particularly in the area of funding and Covid recovery. However, with the continued support of the Executive Committee, our many members and generous funders, we will be able to develop and enhance our services and thereby better support all LGBT people who live, work or study in the London Borough of Enfield.
9) Special thanks must go to:
-
All members of the Board of Directors, particularly our Chair, Treasurer and Trustees
-
Trevor Adams/ Lynne lambert, Line Managers for the Network Manager
-
Lynne for representing the Network and taking over as chair
-
Jason for maintaining our website
-
Douglas, Jacey & Penny our volunteer Counsellors
-
Diane our Women’s Group facilitator
-
Peta our Trans support and education worker

Risk Assessment
The Enfield LGBT Network has carried out a full Risk Assessment on its activities.
The main areas of concern for most voluntary and community sector organisations are staff and accommodation. The Network has two members of staff and funding for these posts is an area that the board keep under review.
Where services are co-facilitated by member organisations, they are responsible for the appropriate training, support, police checking (where appropriate) and supervision of the staff and volunteers they provide.
We facilitate our support groups from our own centre and it provides us with a barrier free, safe and suitably maintained venue with appropriate public liability insurance.
During this year we had grants from different funders. Additional funding may still be needed from other sources to enable the network to continue. This is an area that the Manager, Chair and Management Committee are ever mindful of.
