Technology company ESET have extended their partnership with the AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust for the 2021/22 season.
The partnership is backed by player ambassador Orjan Nyland, with ESET supporting the Trust’s lessons on keeping children safer online.
The classroom-based lessons address the students’ most common uses of the internet and focuses on the safety features and age ranges for each of these different applications and websites.
ESET began life as a pioneer of antivirus protection, creating award-winning threat detection software, while their goal now is to make sure that everybody can enjoy the breathtaking opportunities that technology offers.
ESET are also executive partners of AFC Business and regularly attend corporate events, giving them the opportunity to stay connected and support businesses locally.
Amy Marks, partnership ambassador at AFC Bournemouth, said: “Having a partnership between ESET and our Trust is perfect because both organisations do so much good work to support children in our local community.
“Technology has become such a large part of children’s lives so to have the opportunity to go into classrooms to discuss and help educate the younger generation is really important.”
Malcolm Tuck, managing director of ESET also commented: “We are thrilled to be linked with AFC Bournemouth and look forward to continuing our partnership with the Community Sports Trust.
"With our UK headquarters in Bournemouth town centre, we feel very much part of the community, in and around the town. We are delighted to be able to share our specialist knowledge and hope to continue helping keep our children better protected online."
