The Enfield lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (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 services and the quality of life for the LGBTQ+ community in Enfield.
It does this by providing support services to the community and by supporting other service providers to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ people. The network also participates in consultancy and advisory groups in and outside the borough, representing the LGBTQ+ community.
The network provides the following services:
- Hate crime reporting

- Transgender persons' social group
- HIV and gay men's support group
- Domestic violence advice
