Support in translating documents and help with official applications like Settle Status and benefits
We can help you translate from English to Romanian at no cost!
We are here to provide free help and support for anyone who may struggle with English or understanding UK laws and regulations. Our DBS-checked volunteers, who speak Romanian, Bulgarian, and Polish, are ready to assist you. We can help with documents such as benefit applications, settled status, National Insurance number applications, visas, and more. We also offer guidance with CV building, job search, and other employment-related support. Working closely with councils across Kent, we provide advice on a wide range of issues, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.
⚠️ Stay safe: Be aware of scammers who claim to be specialists and ask for money to collect your personal information. Never send copies of your documents to unknown individuals, and no one should ask for your bank details. Free services should never require payment—always check the official government website (gov.uk) and use a registered accountant for tax returns or other income documents. If you encounter suspicious activity or fraud, you can report it online, by calling 111, or at your nearest police station.
