It's your community

Becoming more focused on young people

O2's community strategy is to maximise the benefit we bring to communities, through focusing our resources, on one flagship programme.

We launched It's your community in 2007, to inspire everyone to make a tangible difference to the places we live, through cash awards of up to £1,000.

Since then, we've seen more and more young people wanting to get involved with their communities. Indeed, nearly two thirds of the projects we’ve funded involve young people. With this in mind, we’ve decided to sharpen our focus on projects which will benefit young people's lives.

How does it work?

From September 2009, we will be increasing the youth focus of the awards.

However, if your project is more community based, there’s still an opportunity to apply.

Please submit your application before the end September; although we cannot promise to be able to help everyone - we will try.
