Fibrus is continuing to support community groups across Northern Ireland and Cumbria bridge the digital divide with the launch of the 2025 Fibrus Broadband Community Fund, which will benefit local groups and clubs.

Freedom Fibre has distributed litter pick kits across North Shropshire, where it is currently completing a Project Gigabit contract to roll out fibre connectivity to around 12,000 hard-to-reach homes and businesses.
Every parish in North Shropshire was invited to apply for a kit, consisting of litter pickers, bin bags and hoop-holders, gloves and ‘Keep Shropshire Tidy’ high-visibility jackets.
In addition to this, Freedom Fibre will extend its network to a further c.50,000 premises in North Shropshire.
Marie Danby, Freedom Fibre’s Customer Operations Director, said: “As we rollout our full-fibre broadband network across North Shropshire, it is important to us that we invest in and support the communities where we are operating.”
