Innovative use of the Internet has secured AOL Innovation in the Community Awards of £2,000 for 30 forward-thinking charities and community groups across the UK. The winning projects demonstrate the positive impact the Web can have in areas such as protecting the environment, developing new writing talent, the representation of ethnic minorities, and encouraging young volunteers.

The annual scheme, run by AOL UK and the national charity Citizens Online since 2003, is open to any community group or registered charity in the UK looking for support for an Internet project. Each winning organisation will receive £2,000 and a year's free AOL Broadband Gold subscription to get their projects off the ground. "
