The Freedom Fund supports good and green causes in communities where we are rolling out our lightning-fast, full-fibre network. Thousands of pounds worth of funding for green projects is up for grabs!
Non-profit community groups in and around Weaverham, Whitchurch, Culcheth and Irlam can apply for up to £250 to support their environmental project.
It is envisaged that the Freedom Fund will be available to all communities where we are rolling out our network by 2023.
Applications to the Freedom Fund closed on Friday 16 December. The Fund will open again in 2023 – please check back here later in the year for further updates.
