Talktalk's
Future Fibre Fund
We're inviting women-led or founded charities to apply
We are passionate about empowering women in the technology sector through our Women in Tech initiative. That’s why our next round of funding is dedicated to supporting women-led or founded (including femme presenting or those who identify as non-binary) charities that are making a difference in their local community.
Women-led and founded charities based in Greater Manchester and Leeds have the chance to apply for a one-off donation of up to £5,000.
Successful applicants will also be invited to be a judge at TalkTalk’s North West Women in Tech Awards 2024, a prestigious event which celebrates women in the tech industry.
