Our Corporate & Social Responsibility
As a family-run business, Anglia Translations Ltd is committed to helping create a fairer society by tackling social challenges and supporting inclusive growth by making information accessible to all in their own language.
How Do We Make a Difference?
Anglia Translations is all about getting hands-on in the community and working closely with the charities we chose to partner with.
We love to see our employees join in and we offer different ways for them to engage and for organisations to connect with our support. We continuously seek mutually aligned and beneficial partnerships and welcome discussions with organisations throughout the UK and beyond.
Our Goal
By offering language support and through collaborative efforts, our goal is to provide others with the vital support, resources, tools, and skills required to improve their quality of life and pave the way for a brighter future.
Our social mission is to provide holistic support, addressing and tackling critical issues like poverty, education gaps, mental health, language barriers, family challenges, homelessness, and social isolation.
We want to translate our values into practical actions, to help enrich the lives of those in our community, and actively contribute to building a more inclusive and fairer society, ultimately ensuring people are empowered to lead better lives.
Who Are We?
As a family-run business, Anglia Translations Ltd values long-standing relationships with clients, colleagues, employees, suppliers, and communities.
These relationships are built on the foundations of respect, trust, kindness, and empowerment. Our commitment goes beyond boundaries, as we extend our family mindset to serve and support our communities and apply our skills and resources to enhance the lives of others.
For us, it goes beyond business; it’s about embracing difference, upholding ethical standards, forging a sense of community, and inspiring hope.
Anglia Translations Ltd isn’t just a business: it’s a family.
Social Themes That Matter To Us
After discussions and consultations with the Anglia Translations team, we have pinpointed several social themes that strongly resonate with our business values and genuinely matter to our employees.
When seeking partnerships with charitable organisations, we are enthusiastic about collaborating with those dedicated to addressing the social issues they see on a local, national, and international level.
These themes include:
- Addressing Educational and Learning barriers
- Providing Support for Refugees and Asylum Seekers
- Tackling Mental Health Challenges, Isolation, and Loneliness
- Combating Homelessness and Enhancing Housing
- Helping Families, Women, and Children in need
We seek partner organisations that align with our values and we are enthusiastic about expanding our charitable partnerships. So, if you’d like to explore how we can support and collaborate with you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to mary@anglia-translations.co.uk.
How We Give Back
Volunteering Hours
We encourage our employees to give back to their local community by providing them with dedicated hours each year. This enables them to select organisations that resonate with their values or align with our business objectives.
Sharing Specialist Skills
Our team and partners possess a wide range of expertise, and we are eager to offer pro bono translation services to our chosen charitable organisations. We break down language barriers to provide those in need with access to information in their language.
Resource Donations
We believe even small acts can make a big difference. That’s why we’re committed to regularly organising and delivering essential donations, such as food, clothing, and supplies, to local organisations, helping provide meaningful support where it’s needed most.
Financial Donations
Each year, we assess and decide on our approach to donating a percentage of our profits to enhance the lives of others, especially those facing educational challenges, family issues, language barriers, homelessness, and isolation.
Translators Without Borders
Translators Without Borders seeks to match the world’s best translators with charities across the globe in order to get boots on the ground in areas impacted by natural disaster, famine and war. This means that these communities have the right information they need on health, education, nutrition, and other vital literature that could often spell the difference between life and death.
We are proud to be an official Bronze Sponsor.
The Angels Foundation
The Angels Foundation has been our chosen charity partner since 2024.
Founded in 2020, the charity helps families escape domestic abuse and heal from the physical and psychological trauma that follows. Their mission strongly aligns with Anglia’s family values and our dedication to supporting local families across Huntingdonshire. We felt compelled to contribute to this vital cause and knew we could make a meaningful impact.
Steel Bones UK
In July 2014, Leigh Joy-Staines and his wife Emma founded Steel Bones after Leigh’s leg was amputated following complications from surgeries to treat clubfoot. Feeling isolated and without support, they created a Facebook group — named after the Funny Bones children’s books — to connect with others in similar situations.
Steel Bones has since grown into a vital support network for amputee families across the UK, offering advice, guidance, and a sense of community.
Home-Start Cambridgeshire
Home-Start is a voluntary organisation dedicated to supporting families with at least one child under five years old. Their belief that everyone deserves a good start in life resonated strongly with Anglia’s team when discussing our values and charity partnerships.
The charity provides trained volunteers who visit families regularly, offering friendship and vital support. Through this, parents and children become better equipped to engage with their community and build brighter futures.
