Objectives
The main aim of Islington Somali Community (ISC) is to improve the wellbeing of Somalis living, working or studying in the London Borough of Islington. We provide emotional and psychological support to those who have had challenging experiences in Somalia and the UK. Most of ISC’s work focuses on providing advice and information regarding welfare benefits, education, employment, healthcare, accessing utilities, consumer rights and other services. ISC Connect provides support to Somali older people in Islington.
ISC Links is a youth work project helping young people access sports, training and employment. Links organises youth activities to help young people to focus on their education and careers.
We also organise cultural events, mother tongue (Somali) and supplementary classes, outings for children and adults, as well as interpreting and translation services.
All of these activities are designed to boost residents' integration in Islington and the UK.
