Enfield Council is currently looking for people to express their interest in becoming a member of a Disability Reference Group (DRG) that will help to shape projects delivered through the Council's Journeys and Places programme. The DRG was established in 2023 and has met to discuss projects such as Quieter Neighbourhoods, walking and cycling routes and measures, parklets and Town Centre improvements projects.
Enfield Council's Journeys and Places programme enables and encourages people in Enfield to make sustainable daily journeys for themselves and for our planet. We are connecting local people to local places for a greener, healthier future.
If you are interested in being part of the Disability Reference Group and meet the criteria set out above, please fill in our application form here (also in the tab 'Apply here' below).
Alternatively, you can email or call us using the details below and provide us with:
Your name
Your preferred email address and/or phone number, so that we can get in touch. This could be contact details for your personal assistant if that is easier for you.
A brief statement of no more than 300 words on why you’re interested in volunteering as a member
Confirmation that you live, work or study in Enfield, and which impairment(s) you live with. This will allow us to form a group of members which provides as wide a range of experiences as possible.
We will be selecting members to ensure a range of impairments are represented through the membership of the group. We will arrange a short phone call with shortlisted volunteers to speak about the role and brief you on what it means to be a member. If you require this to be a face-to-face meeting please make this clear in your application.
Applications are now open until Sunday 4 August 2024.
Enfield Council will inform people of the outcome of their application during the week of 12 September 2024.
If you have any questions, please contact us via the Q&A tool here (also below), by email to journeysandplaces@enfield.gov.uk or phone to 020 8132 2504 (please leave your name and number and we will call you back if not answered when you ring).
