Language Support for Charities Guides

 

The right language support for charities

The charity sector is vast and very diverse. Charities are personalised to the causes and communities they support, who they help, and where they carry out their work.

Access to the right kind of language service, for the right budget, is critical for charities to extend their reach to non-English-speaking audiences.

Today, on the Global Language Advocacy Day #GLAD22, the ATC in collaboration with Charity Translators is proud to publish two new guides on language support for charities – one aimed at language service providers, the other for charities.

A Brief Guide to Supporting Charities

This brief guide has been created for Language Service Providers (LSPs) in the UK to foster continued support for languages in the charity sector.

This guide will give language service providers an understanding of the UK charity landscape and signpost them in the provision of the right kind of language support for charities, for the right kind of budget.

A Quick Guide to Language Support

This quick guide has been created for charities and community groups in the UK to offer a useful resource to help the growing need for language support in the charity sector.

This guide will help charities to scope out the different kinds of language support available, to consider how language support can be accessed and funded, and to understand how to best work with language service providers.
