Who We Are & What We Do

​Community InfoSource works with marginalised communities in Glasgow, primarily with asylum seekers and refugees, to put their ideas into action and to secure their rights.
​Our organisation is human rights and equalities based and community led.
​
​We currently have three main projects:
​Challenging Violence Against Women, Women &
 Asylum Seeker Housing, and Wellbeing Projects.
All three projects work with asylum seeker and refugee individuals and community groups and the Challenging Violence Against Women project also works with other marginalised communities affected by female genital mutilation, honour based violence and other gender based violence.

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 and despite restrictions easing, many newly arrived asylum seekers are very isolated. 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. 

Fundraising continues through asking for your support as well as CIS making grant applications.

CIS OPPOSES the illegal NATIONALITY AND BORDERS ACT which has become UK legislation

CIS is gutted and angry that the Nationality and Borders Bill was forced through UK Parliament on 27 April. We will continue to oppose its inhumane, immoral and illegal approach to working with asylum seekers and work to welcome all asylum seekers.

This Act is not in our name or that of many in Glasgow, Scotland and the UK.

For a fuller statement from Scottish Refugee Council please see

Please support Refugee Action's campaign to repeal the Act
