Central and West Integration Network

CWIN is a vibrant community organisation in the city centre of Glasgow. We support migrants, including refugees and asylum seekers as well as BME people.

We promote food security, participation, skills development and wellbeing.

Some longstanding and some more recently arrived community members joined Laureen on a walk to Tramway, Hidden Gardens and Queen's Park.

Showing people gems like these can help put them on people's maps for future visits. Meeting peers who have been in the city for a little longer can lead to great informal support relationships.

Thank you Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector Wellbeing Fund 🙏

Laureen took us on a walk to the Mitchell library. We got a tour of the library (including parts not open to the public), learned about books in community languages across different libraries in Glasgow and made membership cards.

Our community members sometimes struggle to access the city's resources, even if we tell them where they are. Being shown a place makes it so much easier to revisit it individually.

Thank you Glasgow Life Libraries for having us and helping us unlock resources to one of the city's most vulnerable communities. 🫶

Happy to announce that we received Awards for All Scotland funding to mark the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games. 🤩

Our Commonwealth Cooking project will bring recipes cooked by community members from Commonwealth countries to our weekly community lunch.

We kicked off the project with Jollof Rice and chicken with Ife from Nigeria heading up the kitchen.

Can't wait to get the recipe for this in our booklet at the end of the project.

Thank you The National Lottery Community Fund Scotland for making this work happen! 🫶

We've been having a great time exploring parks in Glasgow on bikes with our ride leaders Eilidh and Mosleh.

Don't worry, we have a risk assessment! 😉

Building social connection and wellbeing!

So nice when the kids get to make a mess elsewhere, right? 😉

Our school holiday programme is under way with activities running three days a week throughout most of the summer. ☀️

We have been doing some gardening, photography and arts and crafts as well as food, of course.

The programme takes a bit of pressure off some of the most disadvantaged families in our city to provide food and entertainment for this long period of school closure.

Laureen (CWIN development officer) took us on a walk to the Gallery of Modern Art and the University of Strathclyde. We met the 'Widening Access' team and learned about routes into higher education.

One participant said: "it was a very useful and wonderful trip, and it encouraged me even more to study harder so I could enrol."

Meeting others, getting to know the city, getting some steps in and nurturing ambition - that's a good mix!

Thank you to the Widening Access team and Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector

We had such a nice time on our volunteer outing to the Willow Tea rooms with Oliver from the National Trust for Scotland.

We got a tour of the building, learned about its history and the origins of some design features and got to decorate a plate. We loved the women's room and the men's room upstairs!

"very amazing 🤩 it’s made my day I really enjoyed I love the place" - great feedback from a participant, Oliver!

Thank you Bank of Scotland Foundation Enable fund for the support for our work with the volunteers.

Celebrating our Courage was the theme of our Refugee Week party last Friday.

The party featured an exhibition by our art group, a performance by our ukulele group, Ukrainian dances and songs organised by our community leader and musician Svitlana, an interactive performance by our friends Partick Circle Dance. Our chefs prepared a delicious spread which was topped up pot lock style by members of our community who brought dishes to try.

So, yes, we did celebrate our courage, but we also celebrated our talent and it was an afternoon full of joy.

Thank you so much to all the many contributors.
