BT Community Connections Awards open for 2009
Howard Lake | 20 March 2009 | News
Applications are now open for this year’s BT Community Connections Awards from telecoms company BT. Community and charitable organisations, working in any field of community benefit, located throughout the UK or Republic of Ireland, can apply for a laptop and a year’s free broadband connection.
BT Community Connections was established in 2000 by BT’s Corporate Social Responsibility Unit as a response to digital exclusion issues. The company has invested over £6 million in the scheme and has awarded more than 6,000 packages of IT equipment.
Postal applications must be received by 9 June 2009, and online applications must be submitted by 11 June 2009.
Previous recipients of a BT Community Connections award are invited to apply for a BTCC Cluster Award. These new awards are designed to encourage networking between community groups who have shared objectives, whilst enabling a substantial number of people to get online. Between three and five community and charitable organisations can apply together for a BTCC Cluster Award.
