Fibrus is awarding £60,000 in grants this year to tackle digital poverty across Cumbria with a particular focus on those aged 18 and under and the over-60s.

Fibrus will invest £30,000 into grassroots sports across Northern Ireland, making up to £1,000 in direct investment available to clubs or organisations for new kits and equipment, to improve their existing facilities, or towards training fees.
The Fibrus Play it Forward will be made available in two tranches, with the first round opening on 30th May and closing 27th June, and the second round opening in October.
Dominic Kearns, Chief Executive of Fibrus, said: “Now, more than ever, it’s important for children to have access to digital connectivity for education and communication. Yet, it’s equally important for them to take time to take time away from their devices, make friends, and have fun.”
