About Hendy Foundation
What we do
We provide support where it is needed most, by giving independent grants to local projects, people, events, and charitable organisations.
Since we provided our first grants in 2019 we have supported a wide range of projects – you can see a selection on our Who We Support page.
Caring for our local communities underpins everything we do as a foundation, and our focus is on supporting projects being run locally for the benefit of those in the local communities in which Hendy Group operates.
We carefully consider each and every request, and while we encourage a wide range of applications, we don’t consider those which are religious, national, international or political. Alongside this we do not provide grant donations for running costs or overheads. All of our donations are awarded on a restricted fund basis only.
How we do it
To decide which projects to give an independent grant to, we start by reviewing our applications. We assess submissions after every grant window has closed and carefully consider all requests before responding accordingly. Our trustees are dedicated to keeping the vision and goals of our charitable corporate foundation and help ensure the money we raise is used in the best possible way to support our communities.
Applications are open to all charities with a turnover under £1 million within the areas in which Hendy Group operates in the South of England. In the case of charities, money is given to local charities only. Please note the donations are given towards tangible items (as opposed to giving money towards running costs).
