CIS is a human rights, equalities based and community led organisation which works with marginalised communities, asylum seekers and refugees.

Community InfoSource is built on principles of human rights, equalities, solidarity and anti-racism. As such, we can no longer justify using X, and will no longer be posting updates on this platform.

We are now on Bluesky - we hope you will follow us there at comminfosource.
