COMMUNITY INFOSOURCE PAST
LIVING WELL IN GLASGOW


​
Living Well In Glasgow was a community based project focusing on health and well being which was developed for those who had come to Britain from a different culture and climate.

Living Well In Glasgow was created in partnership with the Scottish Asylum Seekers Resident's Association. The aim of the project was to provide information and raise awareness of health issues for refugees and asylum seekers.

These two sets of workshops delivered on healthy eating and cooking alongside a focus on "Mental Wellbeing" which were very well received. We are currently recruiting more volunteer fundraisers to deliver new workshops.
TAKING IT LIKE A MAN
Picture
Ghazi Hussein was one of Community InfoSource's directors, and he created and ran a series of workshops around Glasgow teaching artistic Arabic Calligraphy.

These workshops were very effective in building confidence within participants and growing skills whilst increasing knowledge of positive aspects of the Middle East and it's culture.

'Taking It Like A Man' by Ghazi Hussein, is a beautiful book with beautiful calligraphy. You can order it from amazon.
SURVIVORS OF TORTURE AWARENESS TRAINING 
​
Back in 2006 Community InfoSource created and developed training for individuals and organisations working with survivors of torture. The project was pioneering, and it has now been recognised as a key part of public sector training. 

DOOR STEP FIRST STEP 
Door Step was created to empower Scotland's refugees and migrant workers to access their rights. These groups of people are entitled to housing, employment and welfare rights.

The lack or reliable and accessible information and advice leaves them vulnerable to poor housing, poverty and exploitation and work. Door Step Housing Action worked to inform people of their rights in order to improve their quality of life.
