The support reflects Lightning Fibre’s ongoing commitment to giving back to the local community.
Lightning Fibre’s COO, Ammar Jawaid, said: “As a local business, we like to mark our birthday by supporting the community in our home town. Sponsoring the incredible nursing care at St Wilfrid’s Hospice and installing free broadband for their shops are among the ways we can give back to the people of Eastbourne, who have supported us over the past eight years.”
St Wilfrid’s Hospice is grateful for Lightning Fibre’s continued support, which helps ensure vital care and services remain available to local families.
