– Translation of written materials
– Help with editing information on digital platforms
– Supporting C3SC with interpreting for members of the community and with sharing information via email, social media, telephone, video conferencing and other digital means  

– Attending events, fairs and drop-in sessions to support C3SC in their outreach to local communities.
