Been a member since 1992 and tonight RAC Care have left my wife stranded alone in the dark for over 5 hours and counting with no sign of a patrol to even look at her car as yet! Clearly not the service they used to be!!

Tara Asher (the signer for deaf festival goers at Stormzy's Glastonbury set) has Tweeted that people who enjoyed watching her translating, should think about learning sign language themselves. See what she says below>>> Stormzy @GlastoFest British Sign Language x.com/tara_velvet/st…

Impactful statistic from Mike Ballinger: interpreters are often exposed to stark emotions and trauma on the job. Our go-to support is from peers and family. We must find appropriate ways of looking after ourselves and each other to ensure career longevity. #efsliconference2024

"Shaping wellbeing for 'Excellence' (...)" @omoyeledavey, Sarah Bown & Dc. Res. Mike Ballinger. 92% des interprètes indiquent que le métier est stressant. Comment dès lors trouver un équilibre entre vie professionnelle et vie personnelle? Inspirant, merci! #efsliconference2024

Just got "uninvited" from a TEDx conference in favor of a speaker who has "easier access" to the conference arena. The conference theme? Breaking barriers.
