Community Support Organisations
Info Latinos
We are a community platform for Latin Americans recently arrived in the UK.
We provide information and a thriving support network so that everyone can integrate and reach their potential.
We do this through our multicultural buddying programme, group coaching workshops and one-to-one employability sessions.
Children Change Colombia
Children Change Colombia is the UK’s largest charity with 30 years’ experience working exclusively in Colombia. We believe that, with the appropriate support, Colombia’s children can claim their right to live safely and in peace and demand that the adults responsible for protecting their rights do so – in this way, children can change Colombia. Over the last three decades, CCC has helped more than 67,000 children to overcome the trauma of poverty, armed conflict, displacement, and the lack of education, and has invested 13 million pounds in more than 50 multiannual projects all across the country.
We seek to complement the work of others and avoid duplication whenever possible. One of our key aims is to work on issues that are neglected by others. Through local partnerships, we are currently addressing the following neglected issues facing children and young people:
recruitment into armed groups and reintegration into society
sexual and gender-based violence, including conflict-related sexual violence
commercial sexual exploitation
exclusion from education

The Centre of Latin American Studies (CLAS) - University of Cambridge
The Centre was founded in 1966 to promote research and teaching on Latin America in the University. It is one of the five original “Parry Centres” that were established in Oxford, London, Cambridge, Glasgow and Liverpool following the report of the Parliamentary Committee on Latin American Studies, chaired by Dr J. H. Parry (1962-64).
It is governed by a Management Committee, consisting of University academics appointed by the Departments and Faculties of the University. It is linked to other Centres and Institutes of Latin American Studies in the United Kingdom through an informal Standing Conference of Directors of Centres, hosted regularly by the London Institute for the Study of the Americas.
In addition to offering a taught MPhil course in Latin American Studies and doctoral studies, the Centre hosts postdocs, sponsors research projects, organizes conferences and invites scholars from Latin America and universities around the world to speak at a series of events, including weekly open seminars. It also maintains a library containing over 12,000 volumes and a number of important Latin American journals, together with an important archive of Latin American films.
The Centre's staff and students are involved in research across a wide range of disciplines, including history, sociology, politics, anthropology, economics, development and cultural studies (including literature and the visual arts). Students following the MPhil course pursue at least two of these approaches within the structure of the course.
The Centre places great value on the maintenance and expansion of its institutional and personal links with the academic community in Latin America. The Simón Bolívar Chair, a visiting professorial fellowship, has been held by a number of distinguished Latin American scholars. Other Visiting Fellows and Scholars are associated with the Centre on a short-term basis and often give seminars and classes.
