English Language Support Volunteer

Details Hide[-]

The Cumbria Community Integration Project aims to strengthen communities, improve access to services and empower the voices of black and minority ethnic communities in Cumbria. What better way to empower a voice than to give them a language they can communicate in?

We are looking for volunteers to provide language support for individuals from ethnic minority groups in Cumbria. It might be:

● A child struggling to keep up with the language in the classroom
● A parent struggling to communicate with the school and other parents
● An individual who feels isolated because they don’t have the confidence to speak English

Help individuals to feel empowered to engage with communities around them and build their confidence to access public services equitably.
