Bluntisham!

At Connect Fibre, we're equally commited to community activity as we are to providing top-notch broadband. We love being an integral part of the communities we serve, getting involved in local events, supporting worthy causes, and fostering connections that go beyond broadband. Here’s a glimpse into our recent community engagements and sponsorships, as well as some exciting developments on the horizon. Celebrating Local Events 🎪 Our presence in local events has been a cornerstone of connecting with our communities. Here are some highlights from our recent activities: Edwinstowe Cricket Club Euro Watch Party: We brought the community together at the local Cricket Club pavilion to get behind England as they took on Serbia in the Euros, powered by Connect Fibre TV. Wirksworth Carnival: Our fibre experts had the chance to join in the fun chat with residents at the Wirksworth Carnival. This annual festival has been running for more than 90 years and it was an honour to attend. Killamarsh Village Festival: We had the opportunity to join the Killamarsh Festival, where our experts Loz and Troy enjoyed engaging with the Killamarsh community through our fun, new spin-the-wheel game. Rayleigh Town Hall and Trinity Fair: These events were perfect opportunities to connect with residents and provide more information on how our network is progressing in the town. School Fayres: Our expert, Loz, had a wonderful time connecting with parents and teachers at both Friends of King Edwin (Edwinstowe) and Friends of St Helens School (Bluntisham) fayres. Wirksworth Market and Morrisons Meadowhead Day Out: These community hubs provided us with an opportunity to help residents learn more about our network in Wirksworth. Supporting with Sponsorships 🤝 Our commitment to the community extends to supporting local initiatives through sponsorships. Here’s how we’re making a difference: Sutton Cricket Club: We’re thrilled to renew our sponsorship and now proudly show our logo on their baggy caps. Bluntisham Beer Festival: As proud sponsors, we helped support the event as they raised over £600 profit for local initiatives in Bluntisham. Hawkwell FC Girls U10’s: Providing shirts and jackets to this talented team is just one way we support grassroots sports in your towns. Matthew Palmer’s Online Paint Along: This free event brought out the artist in everyone as Bolsover local Matthew taught us more on how to waterpaint. Killamarsh Active Ladies: Our sponsorship helped further establish this new team in Killamarsh set up in partnership with the Killamarsh Active Leisure Centre. Connecting New Communities 🔗 Since April, we’ve been busy expanding our reach, bringing full fibre broadband to new towns: South West Sheffield South Sheffield South Woodham Ferrers Hadleigh Wirksworth Harworth Each new connection is a step towards a more connected community. What’s Next? 🤔 We have exciting plans lined up: Bolsover Beer Festival and Thorne Summer Festival: Be sure to join us at these events for more fun and community engagement. Sutton Beast Colour Run: As the main sponsor we are gearing up for this colourful event in aid of Breast Cancer Now. New Sponsorships and Services: Stay tuned for announcements on new sponsorships and services, including our upcoming Connect Mobile. At Connect Fibre, we’re not just about connecting devices; we’re about connecting people, supporting communities, and fostering a sense of togetherness. Thank you for being a part of our journey as we continue to build stronger connections together!

Here at Connect Fibre, it's been a busy few months. Our connectors have been out and about all over the country, getting involved within our communities and showing their support. From high-fives at first installations to lively discussions about all things full fibre broadband with residents, we've been excited to continue our work in towns we connect. We thought we'd take a moment to reflect on the recent time we've spent in our communities. Why not check out some of the things we have been up to in your area below?

We're excited to share a fantastic milestone – the successful connection of our first customer in the town of Bluntisham! We are not stopping there though! This month our rollout across Cambridgeshire continues as we connect Earith, Colne and Needingworth as well.
