Blackburn with Darwen CCG

Community Volunteer Interpreter Project

This project was set up by NHS Blackburn with Darwen Care Trust Plus in June 2010 to develop a team of volunteer interpreters from the local community, who could offer interpretation in multiple languages over a 12 month period. It was also created in order to support the 3 Community Development Workers (CDWs) in developing their project management skills with mentorship from the Equality Manager.
