BT Community Connectors will make a real difference to their local communities – helping others understand how ICT can improve their everyday lives.
If your application is successful you will be trained to provide ICT coaching to members of your group and the local community, with the aim of getting as many people as possible online using computers to help their everyday lives. Your group will also receive a laptop and additional equipment is available as part of an incentive package.
The deadline to submit an application was Wednesday 23 April 2008.
At present you are not able to apply for a BT Community Connections award. Feel free to take a look at the case studies of previous winners for some inspiration.If you would like to be notified when the next round goes live, click here and register your details.

Simply go to http://www.communitykit.co.uk/, click on the 'Build a website' button and follow the easy instructions. You will have a choice of appearance and designs from a range of style options and can add information about your group. Within minutes of the initial site creation you will have your own website address!
