Hendy Foundation Opens Second Round Of Grant Applications



Hendy Foundation, the independent charity affiliated with leading car dealer business Hendy Group, has opened its second grant window of 2026, inviting local charities across the South Coast to apply for funding.

 

Up to £20,000 is available to support local charities and community projects, with applications open until Friday 30th October. This follows a successful first half of 2026 which saw Hendy Foundation award £16,000 to eight local charities within Hendy Group’s footprint.

 

Rebecca Hendy, Chairperson of Hendy Foundation said:

“The Hendy Foundation is committed to supporting the communities it serves, and the latest round of funding offers another opportunity to make a real difference. We encourage local charities of all sizes to apply and benefit from the support available.”

To be considered for Hendy Foundation’s 2026 grant window, charities should make a submission via the Hendy Foundation website: Grant Request - Hendy Foundation

 

A panel of volunteer Hendy Foundation trustees will review applications before carrying out an assessment to determine which charities are eligible to receive support this year. Successful applicants are expected to receive their grants before the end of 2026.

 

Launched in 2018, Hendy Foundation is a dedicated charity that provides grants to local charitable projects, people and charitable organisations. The family-run Hendy Group’s commitment to supporting local communities goes back generations, and the Hendy Foundation continues to explore exciting new ways to strengthen and improve upon these links.

Harlequins have confirmed wing Louis Lynagh will depart the Club at the end of the season to pursue his international aspirations in Italy.


The Academy product, who joined Quins at U13 level and since achieved 27 tries in 58 senior appearances, will join URC side Benetton Rugby ahead of the 2024/25 season.


Lynagh made his senior debut in 2019 and enjoyed his breakout season in 2020/21, making 11 appearances and scoring six tries. The wing touched down in the Semi-Final against Bristol Bears, before scoring twice in the Final to guide Quins to the Gallagher Premiership title.


Harlequins Director of Rugby Billy Millard said:

“Louis has been a pleasure to work with and we have been proud to see him develop from our Academy to the first-team squad. He has certainly had some great moments in his short career to date and is a popular figure across the Club."

"His 2020/21 season in particular showcased his ability and try-scoring strength. We’re excited to watch his career develop further at Benetton and potentially for Italy. We wish him the very best as he seeks to build his career in Italy.”


Speaking ahead of his departure, Lynagh added:

“It’s been a difficult decision to leave my boyhood club, but I feel the time is right for a new challenge in Italy. I have loved my time at Quins and made lifelong friends, working with some of the best players, coaches, and staff, and achieving the ultimate Premiership success in 2021. I would like to thank all the Quins fans who have supported me over my career, it’s been amazing to play in front of a packed Stoop every week, and I can’t wait for a massive finish to our season.”
