BT Community Connections: apply for a laptop and broadband
24 September 2009
BT Community Connections is an award scheme which enables community and charitable groups to get online and make use of information and communication technology (ICT).
Groups can apply for a laptop and a year’s free broadband connection. There are more than 1000 award packages to give to groups who can demonstrate how an award will benefit their work and the local community.
The awards working in any field of community benefit, located anywhere within the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland can apply for a laptop and a year’s free broadband connection. In the past, community projects, silver-surfers, conservation organisations, family support groups, sports teams and youth groups have all been supported so don’t miss your opportunity.
