Having internet here is amazing we are able to connect online to complete work and run classes, like today we have Bolton college here to run a class. We also have other charity partners that come here and are able to use the internet to help the Bolton community.

Internet access at Deepdale isn\u2019t just about speed\u2014it\u2019s about inclusion, opportunity, and equality. Whether it\u2019s applying for jobs, joining a Zoom class, attending a support session, or simply staying in touch with loved ones, connectivity is now a lifeline. For the many organisations that use the space, it means more effective delivery of services. For residents, it means access to essential digital tools that many of us take for granted. From homework help to managing Universal Credit accounts, broadband access is enabling people to live fuller, more independent lives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We want to donate broadband to the digitally excluded who really need it. We can only do it with your help, if you are part of a local council, housing association, school or community group. Get in touch today through the link below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
