If you are a community or charitable organisation that is looking to extend your work through use of the internet and ICT but don't have the means, apply for an award today!

What is BT Community Connections?

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 and we have more than 1,000 award packages to give to groups who can demonstrate how an award will benefit their work and the local community.

Who should apply?

Almost any organisation, 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.

The scheme supports a diverse range of community and charitable groups - 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.
