A new lease of life
For just £1, more than 5,000 communities have turned our iconic red phone boxes into something that brings more value and enjoyment to local people - from libraries, to food banks, and defibrillators.
- If you’re interested in adopting a kiosk, email us telling us which kiosk you want to adopt.
Step 1
- We’ll review your request and come back to you with kiosk availability, contracts and next steps.
Step 2
- After you’ve agreed and paid your £1, we’ll disconnect the phone and leave you in charge.
Step 3
Who can adopt?
- Recognised local authorities (district or borough council)
- Parish, community or town council (or equivalent)
- Registered charities
- Private landowner with one of our phone boxes on their land
Please note the adoption scheme is for kiosks in their current location, BT do not supply kiosks for a specific location. If you wished to purchase a kiosk, there is a company called X2 Connect Ltd that do sell them.
Success stories
Book exchange
"We wanted to add the book exchange as the mobile library only visits briefly once a month. At Christmas we installed lights on the green for the first time, powered from the phone box, and we also installed a sound system with carols and songs written about the village during the Covid lockdown.”
Jeremy James, Chairman of Church Lawford Parish Council
