Who benefits?
Who better to tell you what winning an award means than our past winners:

"BT Community Connections is a brilliant award scheme which has helped our community group to access the internet, build a website, find funding and training information, improve our communications and offer online support to our service users. This award is simply wonderful!"

"Winning this award has made a huge difference to our organisation. We have now entered the 21st century and can use the PC for all our administration, search the web for possible funding and keep up to date with other similar organisations."

"By showing disabled people how to use computers instead of simply doing it for them, we are not only empowering individuals with life skills that help them dramatically on a day to day basis, but we're also seeing people gain confidence and independence.  Winning the award has meant we are actually changing lives, and that's an amazing thing to be able to say."
