Hendy Foundation

Published: 10 September 2025

In June, celebrity chef and Hendy Group ambassador Rosemary Shrager took on an incredible challenge—cycling 450 miles from Land’s End in Cornwall to the White Cliffs of Dover. Her mission: to raise vital funds to fight food poverty. Thanks to her determination and the generosity of supporters, the Two Wheels for Meals campaign raised an amazing £35,000. These funds will now be distributed to charitable organisations tackling food poverty across Devon, Dorset, Wiltshire, Hampshire, West Sussex, East Sussex, Surrey, and Kent.

We are now inviting local charities and community groups working to combat food poverty to apply for a share of these funds. Whether you run a food bank, community kitchen, meal delivery service, Christmas appeal for school children who would perhaps go without, or other food support initiatives that directly impacts the local community, we want to hear from you. This grant is here to help you continue your vital work and reach even more people in need.

This application form will be open from 9am Monday 1st September to 5pm Monday 29th September.
