Proudly Giving Back To Our Communities
LanguageLine employees regularly participate in events that support the communities in which we operate. Our team members create positive change through both corporate volunteering opportunities sponsored by LanguageLine, in addition to activities carried out personally by individuals. Our team members enthusiastically apply their skills and talent to help causes, projects and not-for-profit organisations.
Our efforts for positive and sustainable change are focused on the following high-impact areas: protecting the environment, reducing socio-economic disparities, improving physical health, supporting communal access to opportunities, and enhancing access to mental health/wellbeing support.
Supporting St George's Hospital Charity
Charity Cake Bake
Here at LanguageLine Solutions, we don't really need an excuse to eat cake. However, we do love an extra reason to do so...especially when it involves raising money for St George's University Hospital!
In October, ten members of the team volunteered to contribute to our Charity Cake Bake. There were some spectacular offerings from our bakers from brownie to cheesecake, and even Cookie Monster cupcakes!
A fantastic effort from all our bakers and cake-eaters alike, getting together to support a very worthy cause.

A day well spent at St George's University Hospital
Volunteering in the hospital gardens
During the summer, members of the LanguageLine team volunteered to spend a rewarding (and tiring!) day working in the hospital gardens at St George's University Hospital.
The volunteers enjoyed a range of activities, including weeding and litter picking, harvesting vegetables from the Dementia Garden and picking lavender to go into the lavender bags for cancer patients.
It was a great day for a great cause, and our volunteers were even blessed with a sunny day! (Summer 2023)
Battersea Run Through
Raising Funds for NHS
Nico completed the Battersea Run Through Half Marathon raising 250GBP in the process. "I ran for St. George's because of the life-saving work they do, and now more than ever we need to show our support for the NHS." (March 2023)
Liverpool Women's Hospital Breast Screening Flyer
Spreading Awareness In Top 10 Languages
To encourage breast screening appointments, we translated informative flyers to help spread awareness. These flyers wer translated into the top 10 requested languages in the hospital.
Learning more about the deaf community
Deaf Awareness Training
Our team enthusiastically participated in Deaf Awareness Training, enhancing our understanding of deaf culture and communication and fostering inclusivity and effective collaboration. Even learning some British Sign Language in the process. (June 2023)
