Today’s Radio 4 programme featured an excellent report on our B4RN project.

Interviewees were Barry Forde, B4RN CEO, Carole Brown from Deep Clough Farm near Littledale, and parents from Cawthorne’s Endowed School, Abbeystead, Lancaster.

Carole spoke about the difficulty in running a modern business when a reliable broadband connection is not available and the parents at the school spoke about the difficulty that their children have completing homework over a dial-up connection.

You can listen to the report here.
