The International Centre for Integration and Cohesion exists to improve social cohesion and integration in Britain.

Our mission is to bring communities together in promotion of tolerance, unity and shared values.

Initially established by British Iraqis in West London, our reach has since broadened to include any groups seeking to promote integration.

We work with a number of different communities in the UK as well as internationally.

All of our projects are designed around our three core objectives:

Building Bridges

Changing Lives

Encouraging Resilience
