Network operator Freedom Fibre<\/a>, which is supported by UK broadband ISP TalkTalk<\/a> and aims to cover over 2 million premises in England and Wales with their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) network, has re-opened their “Freedom Fund<\/a>” and is now offering more money to help community projects (\u00a3500 per scheme).<\/p>\n

Just to recap, the operator initially set aside a total of \u00a34,000<\/strong> for their new fund at the end of 2022 (potentially rising to \u00a360k by the end of 2023), which had been open to non-profit groups and was welcoming applications for up to \u00a3250 per community project. The somewhat experimental fund then closed to applications after awarding grants to 13 local community schemes (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The fund has today been re-launched for communities in areas where Freedom Fibre<\/a> are currently deploying and related environmental projects can apply for up to \u00a3500 worth of funding. Access to the fund is currently limited to the locations listed below and must be made before 5pm on Friday 21st July 2023.<\/p>\n

Neil McArthur, CEO of Freedom Fibre<\/a>, said: “Last year, we became England\u2019s first alt-net to establish a community fund that supports the environmental projects in the communities where we are rolling out our network. We\u2019re building on last year\u2019s successes by extending our fund to reach an even broader range of community groups, and I can\u2019t wait to see what applications we receive this time round<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

The operator itself, which is currently being backed by an investment of \u00a384m from Equitix and a \u00a316m Santander debt facility, now covers \u201capproximately<\/em>\u201d 95,000 premises passed<\/strong> (up from 40,000 at their last update in Nov 2022) and they have a goal to expand to over 150,000 properties through 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
