TalkTalk Innovation in the Community Awards 2008 - 30th September 2008

TalkTalk Innovation in the Community Awards enables charity and
community groups throughout the UK to harness the power of the
Internet.

30 winners will receive cash grants of £2,000 each to fund technology
related projects, as well as technology equipment to help them make
the most of the Internet.

Application deadline is 30 September 2008.

Winners will be notified by 25 October 2008.

The awards ceremony at the House of Lords and one-to-one workshops
with Martha Lane Fox (for five categrory winners only), will take
place in November 2008.

If you are a UK based not-for-profit organisation or community group
looking to extend your work through the use of the Internet you could
be eligible for one of 30 cash grants available. Five overall winners
will also win technology equipment of their choice and a one-to-one
workshop with celebrity Dotcom entrepreneur and co-founder of
lastminute.com Martha Lane Fox.

In 2007, 30 winning UK charities and community groups used the grants
to implement essential technology projects, from chat rooms on health
issues to web-based support networks and other digital technologies.
