Insight Enfield Sort It! offers services for young people under 25 who are experiencing substance misuse issues. The charity provides advice and support to children and parents affected by parental substance misuse, focusing on addiction, gambling, alcohol, and drug abuse. Mayor Supple stated her inspiration came from a visit to Chace Community School, where students researched and presented reasons for supporting local charities.

One to One Enfield supports autistic adults and individuals with learning disabilities, aiming to help them live independently, build confidence, and engage in community life. The organisation prioritises lived experience to empower individuals. Mayor Supple expressed her delight after attending a recent summer performance by the charity's Sing Out choir, noting the participants' enthusiasm and collaboration.

The Whitewebbs Museum of Transport, operated by the Enfield and District Veteran Vehicle Trust, is dedicated to preserving Enfield's engineering and transport heritage. Housed in a Victorian water pumping station, the museum relies on volunteers and receives no National Lottery or council funding. Mayor Supple described a visit with her Brownies pack as a "wonderful informative day".
