BT raises online donations for Paralympics GB

As the British Paralympic Team prepares to head to Beijing, BT celebrates its partnership with ParalympicsGB by helping to raise donations online with its products and services.

BT has selected a range of easy-to-use products that, when purchased, will result in a donation to the ParalympicsGB campaign. This will help to invest in the future of disability sport in the UK, both in the run up to London 2012 and beyond. BT helped to create the campaign film, which can be viewed at: www.bt.com/paralympicsGB.

The range of BT products included in this campaign is split into three - Gold, Silver and Bronze - each with a guaranteed donation to the ParalympicsGB campaign included in the price. Gold guarantees £2 direct to the BPA, Silver £1 & Bronze 50p.

Products include the popular BT Big Button 100 that has many features useful to people who do not find it easy to use the telephone. Further information and the full list of products that can help raise donations can be accessed via:
