Enfield Dispatch is the borough’s free community newspaper. Launched in October 2018, we are a not-for-profit publication that exists to hold authority to account and offer a platform enabling local people to highlight what matters to them.
The Dispatch is made available to pick up for free at various locations around the borough. It is funded by advertisers and supporters; all income is spent on the continuing production of the paper. If you would like to help us you can find out more about becoming a supporter or you can consider purchasing an advertisement for your organisation. You are also welcome to write for us about projects you are involved with, campaigns you are running, or events you are organising.
The Dispatch is published by Social Spider Community News, which also produces Haringey Community Press, Waltham Forest Echo, Barnet Post and EC1 Echo. The paper was ‘highly commended’ at both the 2021 and 2023 News Awards in the ‘independent community newspaper of the year’ category.
