London Community Response Fund-TNLCF COVID 19 Response
Funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, distributed by City Bridge Trust through the London Community Response Fund towards the end of 2020 has helped us fund crucial youth activities, covid related items such as PPE, upskilling our team with training, wellbeing projects, counselling for volunteers and staff and core expenses just to name a few of the areas which we were supported to help the Enfield community in response to the difficulties faced as a result of Covid 19. Thanks to National Lottery players for making this possible.
This fund also helped us to revamp our entire website!

Metaswitch is the world’s leading cloud native communications software company. Metaswitch provides enact with a crucial ‘discretionary fund’ to offer support to local people in times of crisis. This during covid 19 has proved to be a huge help to the community providing items such as printers & laptops supporting home-schooling and wellbeing items to look after the communities mental health.
Metaswitch is currently funding the enact photography project, each month is a photography challenge where the community can win a £50 voucher of their choice. At the end of 12 months we will produce a 2021 calendar with all the winning entries. All proceeds will go back into youth half term activities. #metaswitchcares
