Shropshire Council, together with INCA (Independent Networks Co-operative Association), is hosting a free workshop on Wednesday 15 July 2015, offering a great opportunity to find out how to get financial support for better broadband. Your business may be eligible to get a connection voucher of up to £3,000 for faster, better broadband through the Government's Broadband Connection Voucher Scheme. Attendees will find out how the Connection Voucher Scheme can benefit their businesses, and how the vouchers can be pooled to form a group scheme.

 The event is free to attend, but you must register on the INCA website by clicking here.　

 Connection Vouchers are available on a first-come, first-served basis until 31 March 2016. The vouchers are available to any eligible organisation, and can cover both fixed broadband solutions (usually a fibre connection), or wireless solutions such as satellite or microwave broadband, where fibre is not available.

 For any business that would like to find out more about the Connection Voucher Scheme, further information can be found at http://connectingshropshire.co.uk/connection-voucher-scheme/, including details of:
