Partner – Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council & Welsh Assembly Government
Working in Partnership with Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, the community of Hirwaun is among seven areas to benefit from BT's support of a multi-million pound Welsh Assembly Government initiative to promote the benefits of broadband in the home and business and to stimulate demand.
As part of the partnership arrangement, Hirwaun YMCA has been awarded free broadband for a year by BT's digital inclusion programme. The YMCA acts as a community college and aims to empower and motivate young people.
