Social Value

Take a look at the social value projects taking place across the region in collaboration with our partners.

The Digital Infrastructure Programme is about more than building networks, it’s about creating opportunities and lasting impact. Every supplier we work with is committed to investing in projects that bring genuine benefits to local people and communities.

Social value is a core part of every contract, by going beyond infrastructure, we’re helping to close the digital divide, supporting initiatives that provide access to devices, deliver digital skills training, and offer free broadband for community spaces.

Together, we’re building an inclusive digital future where everyone can connect, participate and prosper.
