Welcome to the TalkTalk Digital Heroes Awards, with Citizens Online - celebrating people who use Digital Technology to bring about positive social change.




Look at our 12 amazing Digital Heroes, chosen by you, who will each receive £5,000 towards their digital projects.

Our shortlisted entries received over 32,000 votes overall from members of the public, and the individual with the most votes in each region has now been crowned a TalkTalk Digital Hero!

Each of our 12 winners will receive an amazing grant of £5,000 to fund their projects, as well as getting free broadband to help them make the most of the internet.

All winners received their awards at a special ceremony at the Houses of Parliament in November, and our fantastic judging panel announced Gill Farrington, from Derbyshire, as the overall winner of the £10,000 grant! View our photo gallery here.
