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 by appointment.
-
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 11-18 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 we have been able to continue to represent LGBT people in Enfield virtually on Teams and Zoom and some meetings in person. Hate Crime, Physical and Sexual Health services remain our high priority areas.
The Public Health funding we received for facilitating a HIV Positive Gay Men’s Support Group, Counselling Service and LGBT representation and support continues with our priority of promoting the new and improved GUM service in the borough.
Some highlights of the year include:
At our AGM Jae stood down from the Board and Geoff was elected. We thank Jae for his service and welcome Geoff to the board, all other board members continued in post.
Tim attended a meeting with the BCU Commander Caroline Haines and the Territorial Support Group Superintendent in Wood Green Custody Suite, this was regarding some public concern regarding the deployment of the TSG across the BCU.
The following day Tim attended a meeting with Commissioner Mark Rowley at Edmonton Green Police station. This was to introduce himself and talk about his vision for policing across London, particularly regarding regaining the confidence of Women, LGBT and BAME communities.
3
During the year Tim has participated in several meetings regarding the Covid vaccination programme and have encouraged our members to take up the offer of the jabs, boosters and flu vaccinations. Additionally, we have sent out information about Monkey Pox as this seemed to be disproportionally affecting gay men in London. Some of our members have been able to access their first and second jabs.
Tim had a very productive review meeting with Shaun Rogan and Debbie Gates regarding our main grant. The outcomes for the grant extension were discussed and have since been agreed. The Grant has now been extended to November 2024.
There have been five Gold Group meetings this year for a number of different crimes. Fortunately, these are all virtual these days, so attendance is not so disruptive to the working day.
Tim attended the Holocaust Memorial Day Event at Dougdale again this year. It was as moving and informative as always, more so as this was the first inperson event for several years.
Tim Met with Becky the new LGBT Liaison Officer for North Area and Sam the Faith Officer. It is good that each BCU will now have a dedicated LGBT Liaison Officer that is their full-time post. There has been a lot of press interest about this particularly around Pride time. Unfortunately, Sam has since left his position.
Tim attended a meeting with our BCU Commander regarding the Baroness Casey Report. He also attended a very heated meeting with the MET Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley and the Head of the IOPC Tom Whiting regarding the Baroness Casey Report at New Scotland Yard. The meeting was called by the LGBT Independent Advisory Group. Sir Mark said he accepted all the findings of the report but continued to say that the MET was not institutionally racist, homophobic or misogynistic, three of the main findings! Tom Whiting made lame excuses as to why the reopening of the review of the investigation into the four Steven Port murders had taken so long. The original investigation was a whitewash and so far, no officers have been held to account.
Proud was relaunched at the beginning of March it has been going well. There are 16-18 young people in regular attendance, also there are 2 young people being mentored and 1 that is undertaking training to be a youth leader. He was a member of the group and now is over 18 and is being trained as a youth leader, this fits very well with our ethos of supporting and developing these young people.
Since its inception ECYPS took the lead on Proud and we were the supporting act. It was decided during the short hiatus that the Network would now take the lead on Proud with continue support from ECYPS. Claire Whetstone has kindly agreed to stay on the Proud steering group bringing her many years of experience in youth work to the group.
4
Somehow, Tim has become vice chair of a new organisation called ‘Enfield PPG Network’. He has been working on a constitution and various policies for the organisation. At their first AGM they adopted the constitution and policies, elected a board, and since then have opened a bank account to which Tim is a signator. A grant for the organisation from the NHS should arrive soon.
Tim attended EVA’s annual review day at Forty Hall (as Chair), he said ‘It was good to meet with the staff and have time to review the year and plan for the next years.
Enfield held its Pride celebration in Dougdale Centre this year at the beginning of June. Trevor and Tim attended along with 10 of the young people from Proud also wanted to help staff the stall. It was great to see their enthusiasm and every young person that came in was given one of the leaflets promoting their group. They assisted me in cutting and pining rainbow ribbons and almost everyone there was wearing one by the end.
After much work our lottery bid was unsuccessful. This will mean that Tim will fully retire at the end of June next year.
The best news of the year was our two members who had their asylum cases heard have received his leave to remain. Many thanks go to Douglas for attending their tribunal hearings on our behalf. We are currently supporting a further asylum seeker resident in the borough.
Lancaster Centre:
Many groups have restarted their support groups within the centre. Office 2 has been fully redecorated and will now be advertised to the sector. TCCA have resumed their use of office 1. Other groups are beginning to hire the sessional rooms again. The centre continues to meet its outcomes as set out in our Lottery grant and continues to remain in credit.
We have historically had some problems with the old Lancaster Centre website and email address, this came to ahead when the email suddenly stopped working. Many hours of tinkering by our IT guy and conversations with Nominet have resolved the situation. The old web address now automatically redirects to our new site and the old email address goes straight to our new email address. By the time he had sorted it I was ready to set fire to the computer!
5) Financial Review
This is our eighteenth year as a charity. This year we have had our accounts examined by The Greene Partnership. Three 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
5
-
London Borough of Enfield Public Health - £12,000
-
Lottery grants for Lancaster Centre - £53,379
-
Lancaster Centre income - £30,476
-
Other earned income - £2,652
-
EVA Health Champions – £700 This was received last year but spent in this financial year.
Funding 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 Health Champions – This grant is to assist us to promote sexual health amongst our gay male members and to work with THT and Enfield’s COHO service to promote HIV testing and GUM services along with Sexual Health London’s on-line GUM provision.
Lottery grant for Lancaster Centre – This is a 5-year grant supporting the reestablishment of the Lancaster Centre. There is a tapering off contribution towards the rent and some funding for the Centre Manager. An additional payment was received this year to assist us with the cost-of-living crisis. This meant a 10% uplift in salaries and support with the very high cost of Gas & Electricity. The payment was for the period till the end of the grant in 3.5 years.
Lancaster Centre income – This is income from office and room hire at the centre.
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, offer 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 position. 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.
6
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 vice-chair of Enfield Safer Neighbourhood Board.
It is difficult for members to attend daytime meetings, as many are in full time employment.
Funding
Our budget was to use £5,000 from our reserve each year to supplement any shortfall in income. At years end we had actually brought in an additional £2,722.
Membership
We now have 14 full members and 12 associate members, not including individual members.
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
-
LGBT Tuesday Group – 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 – Janet Jackson
-
Counselling Service Volunteers – Douglas Maitland-Jones, Vishti Sarjoo
-
• 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.
7
-
(vi) To develop sexual health services alongside Terence Higgins Trust and Enfield Public Health.
-
(vii) To establish the Lancaster Centre as a financial sustainable entity.
8) Conclusion
The year ahead will hold many challenges as the work is developed and progressed 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:

-
Trevor Adams Line Managers for the Network Manager
-
Jason for maintaining our website
-
Douglas and Vishti our volunteer Counsellors
-
Janet our Counsellors Clinical Supervisor

-
The Greene Partnership for accounts examination and ongoing financial support.

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.
