We are Let’s Interpret. A network of trainee and practicing female interpreters. We support women to develop and use their language skills, for the benefit of themselves and their community. We provide training and support for trainee interpreters and offer community language support to organisations across the city of Cardiff.
Aims
Training
We provide bilingual/multilingual women with the training and support required to become competent, professional interpreters.
Community language services
We provide bilingual/multilingual women with the training and support required to become competent, professional interpreters.
Equal access
We are committed to improving equality of access to services and support for migrant communities and seekers of sanctuary in the city of Cardiff.
Why we do it
Within our community there are vast and valuable linguistic skills. By recognizing and developing these valuable skills, we not only enhance this asset for our local community but also enable our members to:
- improve their employability and broaden their career options
- gain in self-confidence
- actively participate in and contribute to their local community
We do this by widening access to training and higher-level skills; providing work experience opportunities and promoting peer support
We offer training and peer support for bilingual and multilingual women living in Cardiff who are interested in making the most of their linguistic skills and in becoming professional interpreters.
We are Let’s Interpret – a community project based at South Riverside Community Development Centre in Cardiff.
Our membership is made up of both trainee and practicing interpreters who between them speak more than 20 languages.
We also provide our members with valuable work experience opportunities by working in partnership with local organisations who require interpretation and translation support.
