Hendy Foundation has confirmed it will donate more than £16,000 raised through its fundraising efforts in the first half of 2026 to eight different charities. Rebecca Hendy, chairperson at Hendy Foundation, said: “Supporting communities within Hendy Group’s footprint is our way to give back, and we’re grateful that the generosity of our colleagues and customers allows us to support some brilliant new causes this year.” Within each grant window, Hendy Foundation typically receives between 50 and 100 applications, which are then carefully reviewed by the board of volunteer trustees to decide on the allocation of funds. Since its launch in 2018, Hendy Foundation has granted over £420,000 to more than 320 charities local to Hendy Group sites. The Hendy Foundation aims to surpass a milestone of £500,000 in donations by the end of 2026.
