The ECA works in collaboration with a number of charitable organisations and various agencies in Enfield to deliver services and cultural events to the local community. In addition, we also work with organisations outside of the Borough who have similar aims and objectives.

The Council of Leaders within the Black Community (The COL)

The ECA is a member of The COL which is a virtual group comprised of leaders of collaborating organisations serving the Black community. The vision of the COL is to work towards the development of a new Black community which is aspirational, learning, compassionate and self-reliant. A Leadership Conference is held every year for members to report on their progress in meeting the COL's core priority for the previous year and to choose which priority to address for the year ahead.
