BT is inviting voluntary organisations to apply to its BT Community Connections 
award scheme to be in with a chance to receive one year’s free broadband access.

 

BT Community Connections scheme aims to bridge the digital divide by making it easier
for community and charitable organisations in the UK to get online.

If your group helps the community access the internet and improves people’s ICT 
skills, you could be eligible to apply for a year’s free broadband. You need to 
have a BT business landline in order to receive the free broadband, but if you have
a BT residential line, you will be able to switch to a business landline for free.

 

Previous award winners are eligible to apply.

 

The closing date for applications is 17.30 on 15 September 2011.
