Microsoft UK’s second wave of Unlimited Potential grants is designed to provide 
new opportunities through IT to the most disadvantaged groups of young people in
the country.
The technology company will work with national charities Leonard Cheshire
and Fairbridge to support the development of regional IT training and skills projects,
underpinned by a cash grant totalling £182,500 and software and curriculum donations.
The Karrot Internet bus also receives support.

Unlimited Potential is Microsoft’s global programme to provide $1 billion in cash
and software for IT skills and training over five years.

Fairbridge, Leonard Cheshire and the Karrot Internet bus follow Age Concern and 
Citizens Online which were given a combined total of £177,500 earlier this year 
in the first round of Unlimited Potential grants.
