Social impact

As well as connecting communities with brilliant broadband, at GoFibre we want to create lasting benefits in the communities we connect.

Our social impact strategy

Our social impact strategy is about making a positive, long-term difference for our customers and their communities.

Our social impact strategy has four pillars:

  • Environmental benefits
  • Community wellbeing  
  • Education and skills
  • Internet safety and digital inclusion

These pillars help guide our company policies and initiatives – whether that’s completing a company carbon audit, becoming a member of Cyber and Fraud Centre Scotland, or signing the Young Person’s Guarantee.

Our social impact strategy also complements our hyper-local approach. We support and work with groups and charities at community level, to create lasting impact.

From boosting girls’ rugby in the Borders with our sponsorship of Borders Girls Rugby Club, to working with Stemovators to develop STEM skills in young people, to the rollout of our GoFurther Fund, awarding grants to charities to date, in Fife, Angus, Aberdeenshire, East Lothian and the Borders.

Our commitment

Giving back to the communities we are operating in and leaving a legacy behind, beyond just the fibre in the ground, is what it’s all about for us, providing motivation for the entire GoFibre team on a daily basis. Being a broadband builder and provider across Scotland and the north of England, we often get approached about lending our support to local causes and that’s exactly why we created the GoFurther Fund.
