Together with Webmart we are dedicated to provide vital support to community businesses.
Webmart, a sustainable marketing agency and certified B Corp, is making a significant donation to fund the support we provide groups in Oxfordshire and Yorkshire, where their two office headquarters are located. This contribution will greatly help us in providing vital support to groups as they establish and run community businesses in these regions.
Along with their generous donation, Webmart will collaborate with our membership team to host a series of 101 webinars and workshops. These sessions will use their expertise in sustainable marketing to help our community business network improve their marketing efforts. Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming events page and our social media channels.
Also, we’re looking forward to working with Webmart to coordinate visits to community businesses in Yorkshire and Oxfordshire. This will provide an opportunity for the team to experience the ins and outs of running and managing these businesses every day. By offering time to help out through volunteering, Webmart will support local community businesses while also witnessing first-hand the positive impact they have on their communities.

Additionally, Webmart introduced our 2025 Impact Report which showcases the widespread, life-changing impact that Plunkett makes to the sector, and how we influence community businesses to have local impact through five measurable themes.
Webmart was also headline sponsor for our National Community Business Conference and subsequently ran a webinar to support community businesses with their social media and marketing skills. We are delighted to continue this relationship throughout 2025 and beyond.
