Helplines and advice lines
Allows callers to explain their situation clearly, in a language they are confident using, and ensures a clear understanding of their needs.
Helping people understand and be understood
For many charities, language support is essential to effective service delivery.
When someone needs help, language barriers can make it impossible for someone to explain their situation or understand what support is available.
Professional language services help charitable staff, volunteers and those in need to reach a shared understanding. This ensures vulnerable people can gain access to the help they need.
Language support when you need it
Clear Voice’s services are there for the most sensitive moments, from helpline calls to crisis support and ongoing casework.

Therapy and mental health support
Establishes a common understanding during sensitive or therapeutic conversations without relying on family members.
People needing language support

Children, families and carers

Why Clear Voice?
Charities need language support that is accurate, confidential and suitable for sensitive conversations. Our experienced, human interpreters understand neutrality, empathy and the importance of professionalism.
Their role is to convey meaning clearly, not to advise, advocate or add their own opinion. Many Clear Voice interpreters bring deep cultural understanding and lived experience to their work, further enhancing the professional service they deliver.

Supporting vulnerable children
Clear Voice works with the Scottish children’s charity Aberlour to provide a full suite of interpreting services.
Aberlour found the sensitivity, expertise and professionalism of our linguists made a huge difference to their work supporting unaccompanied minors.
Working with Together for Mental Wellbeing
Clear Voice supported Together for Mental Wellbeing with interpreting services for people accessing mental health support across a wide range of languages.
“Interpretation is one of the most important parts of my job. You’re dealing with complex information that a child needs to understand in their own language. To do this, you need a really good interpreter.”
