County Broadband has launched a new charity with thousands of pounds of grant funding available to support organisations making a positive impact in rural communities across the East of England.

Organisations within County Broadband's rollout areas are invited to be considered by the Foundation’s trustees through selection criteria.

Hypercharged Foundation trustee, Craig Larter, said: "Our mission is to award grants to community-centric good causes who are making a real difference in the community.”

“This builds on our proud history of supporting local communities, both through the delivery of broadband services but also by helping many village halls obtain free broadband services and donating tablets and educational resources to local schools.”

One of the first charities to secure funding from the Hypercharged Foundation is Great Paxton Recreation Ground in Cambridgeshire which received £2,500 to support the upkeep of the ground’s five acres of land.
