Vandu Language Services was setup at the end of 1999 to provide community interpreting to the public sector in Sussex, currently providing these services in more than 110 languages by working with more 1700 freelance associates based in UK. We hold a formal contract to provide interpreting, translation, and health and social care advocacy for all Brighton & Hove, East and West Sussex public sectors including health departments.
Vandu has achieved much in the last 12 years by empowering communities to integrate to the wider main stream society through learning and development; this remains at the centre of our mission.
In the course of our work we have managed to help some truly talented individuals to build careers based on the Vandu philosophy and they in turn are helping their communities to serve the wider society.
The key factor to our growth and consistent successes is our ethical philosophy in all the services we provide. Our fundamental aims and values are to ensure that language is not a barrier to gaining equal access to services and opportunities. The company is run by linguists who understand languages and cultures from first hand experience.
We believe organisations need to make a profit but this should not become greed. Vandu

The role of the interpreter is to facilitate meetings for the public sector to make the right and fair decision and also to help the client to integrate fully to the British system.
