Enfield LGBT Network

Annual Report August 23 – July 24

Supported by:

Serving the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans community in Enfield.

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.

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.

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:

  1. 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

  2. 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).

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Counselling Service – Generic service for the LGBT client group.

  6. Sexual Health Support and Referral Services – Advice, information and support for any LGBT person concerned about their sexual health including condom provision.

  7. Same Sex Domestic Violence Referral and Support Service - Advice, information and support for any LGBT person experiencing Domestic Violence.

  8. 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.

  9. Young Adults Group -

Board members also participate in various steering groups representing the Network and the needs of LGBT people in the borough. These include:

  1. Voluntary Sector Strategy Group

  2. Hate Crime Forum Executive Group

  3. Case Management Panel (Chair)

  4. MARAC Meeting (Domestic Violence) when requested

  5. LGBT Youth Services Steering Group (Youth Group)

  8. LGBT Consortium

4) Achievements and Performance

To be added by Mark

Lancaster Centre:

Many groups have restarted their support groups within the centre. Office 2 has become the LGBT Networks new base. Unfortunately, TCCA & Quality Checkers have given notice and will vacate soon, other groups are showing an interest in these rooms. 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.

5) Financial Review

This is our nineteenth 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 two signatures. A financial statement is presented at each board meeting by the Treasurer. Additionally, the Treasure and Manager meet regularly to discuss finances.

Income

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.

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

3

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, Mark Riley, 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.

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.

Support Groups

We have continued with seven support groups and activities which are cofacilitated by different organisations:

7) Next Year

4

There are seven main objectives for the coming year:

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:

Submitted by Mark Riley, Network CEO.

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.

5

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.
