We need your help

Enfield Dispatch is published by Social Spider Community News, a not-for-profit social enterprise. Our mission is to hold authority to account and provide a platform for the community. But because we have no shareholders or wealthy backers we rely on local people and organisations to support our journalism. The number of supporters making monthly contributions has nearly doubled in a year – helping us to break even and look at how we can grow as a publication.

With continued support from Dispatch readers we aim to:

  • Produce more local journalism 
  • Expand the size of the paper  
  • Distribute to more locations

How you can help

This month, 238 readers like you helped us cover 24% of our monthly costs. While the paper remains free to read in print and online, every penny of income is reinvested in our local journalism. Local businesses and charities can also sign up and, from £20 per month, access discounts on advertising.
