Back the build. Boost the parish.
Gigabit full‑fibre is coming to Humshaugh. Hundreds of homes, farms and local businesses are set to benefit as B4RN brings world‑class broadband to the parish - fast, reliable, future‑proof connectivity built for rural life.
Humshaugh is a thriving rural community - but like many villages across Northumberland, the digital infrastructure hasn’t kept pace with how people live and work today. From home‑based businesses and remote workers to farms using modern digital tools, reliable connectivity is no longer a luxury. It’s essential.
Full‑fibre from B4RN gives Humshaugh:
Rock‑solid reliability in all weather
Gigabit speeds that don’t slow down at peak times
Future‑proof infrastructure built to last for generations
A boost for local enterprise, from tourism to agriculture
Better access to education, healthcare and services
Help us give Humshaugh the go-ahead
Your pledge could make all the difference, as we're very close to having enough investment to start work.
Back the build. Boost the parish.

Help make it happen - Pledge your support
To bring B4RN to Humshaugh, we need to show strong local backing. Government vouchers cover most of the build cost, but not all of it. Community pledges help bridge the gap and get your parish ready for cabling. You’re not committing funds today - just registering your intention to invest when the project reaches that stage. Every pledge strengthens the case for Humshaugh.
