Getting involved

Working as one

The success of Howdens is intrinsically linked to the areas we operate in. In 2018 alone, we donated £3 million to charity, whilst giving staff the means to help local causes.

Howdens in the community

With more than 700 depots across the UK and Europe, Howdens is a familiar sight in many communities. As part of our commitment to providing excellent customer service and products, we are also passionate about serving each of these communities by acting as a positive local force. Our belief is that where communities thrive, we thrive – therefore it is vital that our business is beneficial to all. All of our employees are actively encouraged to support and promote local groups and charities by participating in sponsored events, by volunteering and by raising awareness of issues, helping to raise thousands of pounds for those in need. On a national level, we hold a long-standing charity partnership with Leonard Cheshire Disability, and, to date, have donated over 130 kitchens for their care homes.
