Aha, this is excellent! And surprisingly hard.. (shows how far I have to go in my quest to be a really accessible copy writer.)

Can you explain what you do using only the most common 1,000 words in the English language?

Work:

I work for a place where people go if they want to keep on studying after they finish school. It is very well known but lots of people think that they can't go there even though they can. They think that it takes a lot of money or that you have to be from one type of family. These things are not true (well, it does take a lot of money, but we will give you a lot of money too if you need it). It is my job to help people understand that these things don't matter - if they have done well at school, they can come and study here. (It is also my job to make sure that everyone picks us over the other place.)

Lashings:

I am part of a group that writes and puts on shows that try to change how people think about the world. We want the world to be different - for people to be kinder to each other, and think about how what they do might hurt other people. We think it is important that people should be allowed to be different from each other, but there are lots of people in the world today who don't think this is true. We try to help more people see it our way with songs and dances and plays.

I help my mother do her job of listening to people and helping them listen to each other, by doing the parts that she finds hard. I tell people they need to pay her money, and check if they paid yet, and make her computer work better. I also write down the things she needs to remember, and keep them in the right place, and put her room and boxes of papers in order for her.
