Insurance firm Howden has launched donation stations across eight branches in Hampshire as part of a partnership with Felix, a food redistribution charity. The stations are located in Alton, Andover, Basingstoke, Eastleigh, Fareham, Farnborough, Southampton and Winchester, and will collect long-life food items for distribution to those in need through Felix's network of charities and community groups.

Mike Dalby, CEO of consumer at Howden, said: 'Food insecurity is one of the greatest challenges of our time in this country. At Howden, we saw in Felix a partner with shared ambition and passion to make a meaningful difference in communities across the UK.' Paul Amadi, executive director of income generation at Felix, added: 'At a time when demand for our food is growing and people are struggling with the cost of living, we're so grateful to Howden for launching this donation stations initiative in their branches.'

Howden plans to extend the scheme nationwide from 16 November 2026. The company's two-year partnership with Felix aims to raise £1 million and generate thousands of volunteering hours, with a goal of providing more than five million additional meals across the UK.
