Community Integration And Advocacy Centre is a specialized immigration law practice and registered charity providing free and low-cost ethical immigration and asylum advice throughout the UK and beyond. Regulated by the Immigration Services Commissioner at Level 3, the firm stands out for its commitment to supporting emerging communities—including refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants—by offering accessible legal guidance that promotes integration and active citizenship.
The organization adopts a community-centered approach, ensuring that those without the right to work or claim benefits receive free advice, funded in part by low-cost services for eligible clients. With a strong focus on long-term solutions to destitution and injustice, CIAC assists individuals and families nationwide through both in-person consultations at their Hull drop-in service and remote advice sessions via Zoom.
