Wellbeing Project
Community InfoSource has developed the wellbeing project to help asylum seekers in Glasgow who may be suffering from loneliness and isolation. Initially, in 2021 we helped asylum seekers that were moved into hotel accommodation which exasperated the issue of isolation. We continue to support people as they move into their new communities.
Asylum seekers experiences and journeys can often be traumatic that can affect mental health. The Wellbeing team offer a befriending service that aims to support new arrivals through peer to peer support with people’s daily lives. Befrienders offer much needed friendly support that helps asylum-seekers navigate life in their new city, offering support to access much-needed services and signposting to other agencies.
The wellbeing project offers ways in which asylum seekers can stay connected by increasing social connections either digitally or face to face. Our volunteers and participants help plan and organise regular activities such as cycling trips, hill walks, and city tours, which can improve physical health and mental health.
If you are an asylum seeker and would like to join us please email stuart@infosource.org.uk or call/text 07306 356 840
