Amidst the news of a knife attack in France, the Red Cross warning of landmines in Ukraine, and a decline in childbirth rates in England and Wales, it's important to remember that businesses, like BT, are there to help individuals and communities navigate through challenging times.

Amidst these issues, BT's message remains constant: they've got your back.
