Our company purpose: We connect for good
“We connect for good” is four simple, yet very strong words that perfectly describe why BT exists. It’s both a statement of intent for our future, and the essence of all the good that we've done over more than 100 years.
We connect hospitals so they can look after the sick. We connect businesses so they can serve their customers. We connect homes so loved ones can stay close. We connect people to the digital skills they need. And crucially for the education sector, we connect learners with opportunities to learn.
At BT, we’re passionate about helping people to build better digital lives.

As well as supporting your digital transformation strategy, we're here to help in so many other ways. By 2025, we aim to empower 10 million people by helping them gain the skills they need to flourish in the digital world. We’re doing this through our Skills for Tomorrow programme, which includes a whole host of free resources for people of all ages and abilities, including our Work Ready programme.
Barefoot Computing programme for primary schools
We're committed to helping children gain the skills they’ll need to think, learn and thrive in a digital world. By supporting the Barefoot Computing programme, we trained 86,000 UK teachers to deliver the primary computing curriculum brilliantly. Through this programme, we reached 2.8 million children. The Barefoot Computing programme is run by Computing at School (CAS, part of the British Computer Society) and is completely free. And our staff are making us proud every day as Barefoot computing volunteers.
