Supporting the Digital Nation

Our Commitment

B4RN Proposition  

B4RN is a trusted partner to the remote areas we serve. We are uniquely positioned to act as a bridge, connecting people with the support they need by organising community meetings and collaborating with third-party specialist organisations. Our established reputation within these communities allows us to effectively bring vital services and resources to those who would otherwise be left behind. 

With an extensive network of volunteers across the most challenging rural locations in Lancashire, Cumbria, Yorkshire, Norfolk, and the North East, B4RN is in a prime position to connect individuals with the right resources. This network enables us to work with organisations best placed to help bridge the digital divide, as well as to educate, guide, and coach people on how to maximise the benefits of their connectivity. 

B4RN is already playing a significant role in bridging the digital divide by delivering reliable full-fibre gigabit symmetrical broadband to some of the hardest-to-reach areas. We also offer a Social Tariff, which allows those receiving certain benefits to access the same high-speed service at a reduced price, ensuring that affordability is not a barrier to digital inclusion. 

Our dedicated connections team and help desk representatives actively participate in community meetings, helping residents get the most out of their broadband. Whether it’s navigating healthcare, education, banking, or other essential services, we are committed to ensuring that everyone in our communities can take full advantage of the opportunities provided by reliable, high-speed internet. 

We aim to elevate our efforts by collaborating closely with specialist organisations that focus on specific demographics, including age, geographic location, education, and other essential services. This partnership approach will enable us to deliver more targeted and effective support to those who need it most.
