Lincolnshire Language Services is a local service developed by the third sector to meet increased need and lack of provision of interpretation services in Lincolnshire. We provide services in languages that reflect the local migrant population, which is now circa 10% of people living and working in our county.
  • We specialise in Russian, Polish, Portuguese, Lithuanian and Slovak - The key languages for Lincolnshire
  • Our interpreters are all based in Lincolnshire, which leads to a real saving in travel costs unlike other organisations that often provide interpreters that are based out of County.
  • We are a Social Enterprise and our surpluses are reinvested to train more Interpreters and increase our local Lincolnshire portfolio of services for our clients.
We provide a pre-booked interpretation and translation service and our charges are:
