Language support is a lifeline for charities

There are more than 168,000 #charities in the UK. Whether focused on healthcare, human rights, education, animal welfare, community development or the environment, each one plays a vital role in making a difference by providing direct help, providing information, or raising awareness of a specific cause.

To help these organisations engage with people in a meaningful and inclusive way, they often rely on interpreters and translators. These language experts help charities and other non -profit organisations communicate with people in a language they understand and are most comfortable using, allowing them to not only establish themselves as the voice of the people or causes that they help and represent, but to build trust by making people feel understood and supported.
