Humshaugh Village B4RN Project Update

We are pleased to report that the Humshaugh Village project continues to make strong progress.

There has been a very healthy number of Expressions of Interest received, demonstrating strong community engagement and demand for the project. The cabinet agreement has now been signed, the process to install the cabinet is underway.  Our engineers have successfully completed surveys, and overall, everything is looking very positive for the project to proceed as soon as possible.

We would welcome further support with share pledges.  A new Investment Offer was released on 1st May 2026, and we would like to share the details with the village community.  Together let’s get the project over the line.

What is a Pledge? Completing a share pledge means people are indicating they are intending on investing in B4RN and becoming members.

What is our new offer: Invest £1,500 or more, and your connection fee is waived and you also receive free broadband; the amount of this increases with increased amounts of investment.

(£1,500–£2,499 → 2 months free, £2,500–£4,999 → 4 months free, £5,000+ → 6 months free).

Currently investors receive a 5% yearly return.

Your pledges help build the local network.

People who wish to support B4RN can complete a pledge form.

Full details of the new offer and pledge forms are on our website, link below.

We would encourage anyone interested to take a look and share the information more widely within the community.

Thank you again for the continued support for the project.

If you are still considering signing up with B4RN but are maybe in a broadband contract currently can I remind you of the B4RN Connect+ offer; Join B4RN and pay only £5/month until your current contract expires (up to 2 years).
