About Community InfoSource
Community InfoSource is not-for-profit organisation based in Scotland. Registered as a Community Interest Company since June 2006, three of our six directors are refugees and we work mainly with refugee, migrant and minority ethnic communities.
Community InfoSource supports isolated communities and individuals, especially those in refugee and migrant communities, working with community-based organisations, the voluntary sector and local authorities. Our approach is to help developing groups and organisations to put their own ideas into action. Our activities focus on joint projects building towards rights-based integration.
We deliver training targeted to meet the specific needs of individuals and groups, and develop volunteering and other activities to grow the skills and confidence of marginalised people and help them to raise awareness of their needs among service providers.
Together, our Directors have a wide range of skills, knowledge and experience, and a commitment to a collaborative way of working - in supporting emerging communities; developing housing, work and welfare rights services; delivering training and support; with arts and culture programmes, and more.
As a CIC, Community InfoSource can only conduct a business or other activity for community benefit, and must comply with the “community interest test” and “asset lock”, of the CIC Regulator
