Stoke-on-Trent City Council
Care Leavers Programme
Your home, your connection
As part of Freedom Fibre's long-term and ongoing partnership with Stoke-on-Trent City Council, we have partnered with the Council's Care Leavers team and our own retail brand, Lila Connect, to provide free-of-charge full fibre broadband to young adults in the foster care system who are in the process of transitioning into independent adulthood.
Why full-fibre?
FTTP (Fibre to the premises), or full-fibre, is the future of broadband. With the huge growth of online streaming and gaming, working from home, internet-dependent devices, and many essential services moving online, your broadband needs to be able to keep you connected when it counts.
This is where our lightning-fast, gigabit-capable network can help. By having an FTTP service, you’ll be using the UK’s fastest and most reliable broadband technology that guarantees robust connectivity, no matter what time of day or how many devices you have connected.
How do I connect?
The full-fibre connection is provided by Freedom Fibre's retail broadband provider, LilaConnect. If you are a Stoke-on-Trent care leaver, call our dedicated sales team on 0333 011 5330 to start the connection process.
Staying put?
If you have a permanent address, we'll provide you with a router and a fixed connection.
On the move?
If you plan on moving around, we'll provide you with a portable Wi-Fi dongle.
