**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.
