The managing director of TalkTalk Wendy Becker said that the award would give confidence to these people. They have worked very hard to improve lives of others and they fully deserve such awards.

The prize consists of a sum of money, which the winners can use for their digital projects.

All award winners will also receive free broadband for one year and six months from TalkTalk as a part of the award - click for Talk Talk Broadband info.
