Enfield Clubhouse is available to anyone with a history of mental health problems who wants to use the service.
The Clubhouse has a Service Level Agreement with Enfield Council to provide 18 places to members on an Enhanced CPA (Care Programme Approach) plan and who are referred by their Care Co-ordinators in the local Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs).
38% of referrals come from Edmonton CMHT, 27% from South Southgate, 19% from Enfield Town and 16% from North Southgate.
53% of referrals describe their ethnic origin as White British, 20% as White other, 18% Black and 6% Asian.
The Clubhouse needs to recruit more women members as men outnumber them by nearly three to one. 24% are aged 18-30, 57% 31-50 and 19% over 50.
As a result, 41 out of the 49 people who applied for Clubhouse membership are on Enhanced CPA (84%) and have been assessed as having the highest and/or most complex support and rehabilitation needs. 60% have a diagnosis of schizophrenia, 31% (psychotic) depression.
