The winners of the AOL Innovation in the Community Award Winners have been announced.
AOL UK and Citizens Online will help to turn the internet dreams of 30 charities and community groups across the UK into reality thanks to the AOL Innovation in the Community Awards, the winners of which were announced on 26 June 2006.
Online counselling and peer support, wildlife webcams to teach children about nature, and computer classes for older people are just some of the ways the winners of this year’s awards will be using the internet to connect, support and inspire their users.
John Fisher, Chief Executive of Citizens Online, commented: “With the digital age truly upon us, voluntary organisations should be encouraged to make the most of online media. We know from previous years what a difference these awards can make. Some incredible projects have been proposed for 2006, which reflect both the creativity of the groups involved and the clear benefits that the internet offers the individuals they serve.”
Karen Thomson, President of AOL Europe, added: “I am always inspired by the diverse ways the internet is being used to help so many communities around the country. The internet is a powerful tool for providing information and bringing people together and we are very pleased to be able to help another 30 charities and community groups to make the most of digital technologies this year.”
