Linguist Aid

During this COVID-19 outbreak, we're helping to connect multi-lingual volunteers to local community groups (mutual aid groups) around the UK.

Kudos to @MauriceYap, an alum of @suttontrust @Cambridge_Uni CompSci Summer School. Now a software engineer, he's nominated for @suttontrust Alumni Coronavirus Response Award for creating @LinguistAid to link multilingual volunteers with local aid groups. https://t.co/blZSsQO0Kb

@XeniaWomen @LtutorEso @JCOREUK Hello! While we're at it, are there any in-demand languages other than Urdu and Punjabi into which you'd like this guide translated?

@LtutorEso @XeniaWomen @JCOREUK Hey! We can try and organise getting this translated into Urdu and Punjabi.

Stay apart and stay safe by wearing a face covering when out in public. Learn how to make your own face coverings at home by watching this video from @MayorofLondon #LondonTogether

We’ve set up a really successful mutual aid calendar at work. Each week, we:

- Update the team on our existing community actions
- Start a new community action
- Support a local artist through a commission

Goal: sustained community engagement and impact during the quarantine.
