Giving Back in 2025: 5Y Technology Supports Good Causes with Nearly £50,000 in Donations

We believe that success should be shared. In 2025, we put that belief into action as we donated circa £50,000 across multiple good causes, supporting those that reflect the values and passions of our team.

Through a combination of employee nominations, board-led initiatives, organised fundraising and profit donations, our 2025 donations supported a diverse mix of charities and associations spanning mental health, technology education, humanitarian aid, grassroots sport, and communities.

We’re proud to have supported the good causes below throughout 2025.

The Charities and Associations We Supported included:
