Edinburgh-based alternative network provider GoFibre (BorderLink), which has already rolled out their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network to 100,000 rural premises across the North England and the Scottish Borders, has today celebrated the first anniversary of their £50,000 GoFurther charity fund by awarding more projects.

Just to recap. The GoFurther Fund offers grants of up to £3,000 to help local charity projects and community organisations in the regions of Aberdeenshire, Angus, Fife, East Lothian and the Scottish Borders etc. So far they’ve already awarded around £15k to various different organisations and today three more (total of £9k) were added – The Haven (Aberdeenshire) – £3,000, Kirrie Connections (Angus) – £3,000 and North East Sensory Services (Angus) – £3,000.

NOTE: GoFibre aims to cover 500,000 premises by around the end of 2025 and is supported by an investment of £164m from Gresham House (here). The operator also holds the Project Gigabit contracts for Teesdale (Lot 4.01) and North Northumberland (Lot 34.01).

For a bit of context, The Haven offers a wide range of free activities to combat social isolation in Stonehaven, while Kirrie Connections is a dementia support hub in Kirriemuir and North East Sensory Services (NESS) provides the first integrated sensory services for people with sight or hearing loss across Angus.

Neil Conaghan, CEO of GoFibre, said:

“These three organisations are already making a difference across their communities, and their incredible efforts reinforce the idea that this kind of grassroots support can genuinely create a better future for the next generation. That’s why it is important for us to recognise and boost the incredible work of charities and organisations across Scotland.

There has been a clear response from local communities that there is a continued need for the work of organisations like The Haven, Kirrie Connections and North East Sensory Services and we are incredibly proud to be able to support them in their mission to continue transforming local lives.”

Customers of the GoFibre’s network can expect to pay from £36 per month (currently discounted to £29) for a 135Mbps (25Mbps upload) package on a 24-month term with an included wireless router, which rises to £69 per month (currently discounted to £49) for their top 900Mbps (100Mbps upload) plan. The latter also comes with a bonus Wi-Fi extender (this can optionally be taken on other plans at extra cost).
