Wildanet is proud to partner with the Cornwall Community Foundation to help strengthen communities and create opportunities for people across Cornwall. As a company deeply rooted in the region, we share the Foundation’s vision of empowering local people and addressing inequality to build a more resilient and connected Cornwall.

Founded in 2017, Wildanet is Cornwall’s largest Alternative Network Provider (AltNet), delivering high-speed broadband to rural and hard-to-reach areas. With 94% of our team based in Cornwall and Devon, we are committed to addressing the digital divide while supporting local jobs, businesses, and economic growth.

Since 2023, Wildanet has secured £77 million under the UK government’s Project Gigabit to connect over 37,000 premises in Cornwall. Our Technical Training Academy and apprenticeship programme, launched in partnership with Truro and Penwith College, further reflect our dedication to building skills and opportunities for people in Cornwall.

Wildanet’s commitment to sustainability and social responsibility was recognised in January 2024 when we became the first UK AltNet to achieve Certified B Corporation status.

Together with the Cornwall Community Foundation, we’re passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of local people, ensuring that everyone has the tools and opportunities to thrive.
