Hendy Foundation, the charitable arm of the family-run Hendy car dealer network, has donated over 200 Easter Eggs to local charities across the South Coast as part of a new appeal.

The business invited colleagues to donate chocolatey treats to bring some Easter cheer to children and families, and the generous response has exceeded early expectations.

Hendy Foundation has donated the Easter Eggs to Wimborne Food Bank, Hope for Food Bournemouth, Christchurch Food Bank, Eastleigh Basics Bank, Cosham Larder, Nourish Food Bank Tunbridge Wells and Love Works Redhill.

Supporting food banks and food poverty charities across the South Coast has been a key theme in Hendy Foundation’s support over the past 12 months. Last year, Hendy Group Ambassador Rosemary Shrager participated in her ‘Two Wheels for Meals’ cycle challenge, where the TV chef raised over £35,000 for food poverty and welfare charities by cycling nearly 450 miles from Land’s End to Dover in June.

Rebecca Hendy, Hendy Foundation Chair said:

“Supporting children and families within our local area has been a core principle of the Foundation since it was founded in 2018. We hope these small gestures will make the holiday a little bit brighter for many families. I’d like to thank the Hendy Group dealerships that took in part in helping make this appeal such a success.”

Following its latest round of funding in late 2025, the Foundation awarded grants totalling more than £61,000 to support 50 non-profit organisations. With a fundraising target of £90,000 set for 2026, achieving this goal would take the total amount donated by the Foundation since its launch in 2018 to more than £500,000.
