Who We Are & What We Do
Community InfoSource works with communities in Glasgow to put their ideas into action.
Our organisation is human rights and equalities based and community led.
We currently have two main projects:
Challenging Violence Against Women and Women & Asylum Seeker Housing
Reduce Asylum Seeker Isolation - smart phone App
Covid-19 has disproportionately increased isolation for asylum seekers. The pressure of lockdown has compounded previous traumatic experiences and their mental health is being severely affected by isolation. Phone data top-ups to access information on community support or keep up-to-date with Covid-19 rules are unaffordable.
With your help, we are raising money to develop a downloadable App that will greatly reduce isolation. Asylum seekers will be able to keep in touch with Covid-19 public health updates in languages they understand, accessing information to find local support groups, to be more informed about their rights and to increase confidence and ability to contribute and participate in their local community.
66 supporters donated to the Aviva Crowdfunder reaching £3,002 by 16 July 2020. Fundraising continues through CIS making grant applications. Or by our PayPal DONATE button below.

Community InfoSource & Partner Organisations
Community InfoSource Becomes A Charity!
We held a fantastic night of celebration as part of Refugee Festival Scotland in June, with international music, dance, performances and food. The event was part of the official programme for this years festival, with the theme being 'Making Art, Making Home'. We also announced that after 13 years of being a C.I.C, we are now a registered charity! This is a big thing for CIS and we were delighted to share the celebrastion with over 100 people who have been a part of our organisation over the years. |
