Fostering understanding and helping to build a more inclusive community
About North Glasgow Integration Network
Since 2000, North Glasgow Integration Network has been a vital force in the north east of Glasgow, working tirelessly to support and empower asylum seekers, refugees, and the local population.
North Glasgow Integration Network’s mission is to bridge communities by providing compassionate support, strong advocacy, and meaningful opportunities for integration.
We recognise the unique challenges that refugees and asylum seekers face when adjusting to life in a new country, and our aim is to help them rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
At the heart of our work is the belief in promoting understanding and fostering relationships that create harmony across diverse groups. We strive to build resilience within individuals and communities, equipping them with the tools required for long-term success and well-being.
By offering guidance, education, and community engagement, we create pathways to meaningful integration, helping refugees and asylum seekers find their place and thrive within Glasgow.
Our work is not only about supporting those in need but also about building a brighter, more inclusive society for everyone. Through empathy, unity, and collaboration, we aim to create a future where diversity is celebrated, and where all people, regardless of their background, can contribute to and benefit from a stronger, more harmonious community.
