Webanywhere Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report 2026
At Webanywhere, our commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is integral to our ethos of leveraging technology to foster positive changes within our communities and towards the environment. Our CSR policy mirrors our dedication to sustainable development, community engagement, and the practice of responsible business.
Here, we detail our key initiatives:
Supporting Leeds United’s Marching On Together Charity
Webanywhere proudly sponsors Nigel Martyn, former England and Leeds United goalkeeper, in support of Leeds United’s Marching On Together charity initiative.
This partnership enables former Leeds United players to give back, strengthening the bond between past players, the club and its loyal supporters. The health and wellbeing of former players who have proudly pulled on the famous white shirt is of paramount importance to everyone connected with Leeds United.
Supporting the association helps former players reconnect, feel valued, and remain part of the club’s future.
For Webanywhere, backing this initiative reflects a belief in community, loyalty and legacy – values that mirror the long-term relationships we build with our own clients.
Supporting Education in Boston Spa
Webanywhere also supported St Mary’s Primary School in Boston Spa by providing a free website and marketing package at a time when school budgets were under significant pressure.
With many schools facing financial constraints, investing in professional digital presence can feel out of reach. By stepping in, Webanywhere helped the school strengthen its online visibility, communicate its values more effectively, and ultimately secure pupil numbers – safeguarding both jobs and the wider school community.
Educational Support During Funding Crises
In response to financial difficulties faced by educational bodies, Webanywhere has provided vital support. When a funding crisis affected our longstanding customers, including schools and a school trust, WebAnywhere offered essential aid. We provided complimentary website hosting, support, training, and design services to 20 schools and a school trust at no cost. This initiative, valued at £70,000, allowed the trust to retain its teaching and support staff, ensuring the continuity of high-quality education.
Quote from Sean Gilligan, Founder & CEO of Webanywhere:
- “In times of hardship, it’s crucial to support the pillars of our community. By assisting schools and a trust during their funding crisis, we’ve helped preserve the quality of education for numerous students. It’s a clear reflection of our values and commitment to social responsibility.”
- “During our most challenging times, Webanywhere’s generous contribution was a beacon of hope. Their provision of complimentary services saved us £70,000, safeguarding our staff’s positions and our pupils’ learning. Their support has been invaluable to our community.”
Supporting Part-Time Parents with Flexible Work
Webanywhere acknowledges and values the contributions of every team member, including those balancing their professional lives with family commitments. Within our Education division, we have introduced flexible working arrangements that empower part-time parents to work from home and adjust their work schedules around their family lives. This initiative highlights our commitment to inclusivity and the well-being of our employees.
Complimentary Websites for Schools and Churches
Continuing our commitment to community support, Webanywhere offers free website services to selected schools and churches. This initiative aims to empower these institutions to improve their online presence and more effectively engage with their communities, without incurring additional costs.
Strategic Blue Partnership
At Webanywhere, we take our environmental impact seriously. That’s why we’ve selected to work with Strategic Blue, a leading AWS hosting reseller with a clear commitment to sustainability. Through our collaboration with Strategic Blue, we align strongly with our shared goal of reaching net zero emissions.
IT Equipment Recycling
When it’s time to retire old hardware, we ensure that sensitive data is securely destroyed, maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of our clients’ information. Once data destruction is complete, we partner with local IT recycling organizations to responsibly dispose of the equipment. By recycling our IT equipment, we’re not only reducing electronic waste but also contributing to the circular economy. Materials from retired hardware are repurposed or recycled, minimizing our environmental footprint and conserving valuable resources.
Environmental Responsibility through Hybrid Work
Webanywhere is committed to minimising our environmental impact through mindful policies on hybrid work and travel. Our hybrid working policy facilitates remote work for employees, reducing the need for daily commuting and, consequently, lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Our travel policy promotes sustainable travel options and minimises unnecessary travel.
Quote from Ciaran Gilligan, VP of Service Delivery:
- “Our approach to hybrid working and travel is a testament to Webanywhere’s commitment to environmental stewardship. By fostering flexible work arrangements and promoting sustainable travel, we’re enhancing our team’s work-life balance and contributing significantly to the reduction of our carbon footprint.”
Webanywhere’s CSR policy reflects our belief in responsible business conduct, support for our communities, environmental sustainability, and the well-being of our employees. We are proud of the positive impact our initiatives have made and remain dedicated to continuing our efforts in these important areas.

Why Giving Back Matters to Us
For Webanywhere, corporate social responsibility is about more than visibility – it’s about responsibility. Businesses do not operate in isolation; they rely on strong communities, thriving schools, and shared local identity.
Giving back:
- Strengthens communities
- Protects local institutions
- Supports wellbeing and opportunity
- Builds long-term trust and relationships
As a business rooted in the community, Webanywhere believes success should be shared. Supporting sport, education and wellbeing initiatives ensures that growth benefits more than just the bottom line – it benefits people.
