Corporate Partnership Howden
Matthew Hillier, Branch Manager of Howden Tooting, shares their experience of working with Learn to Love to Read
What matters to Howden when selecting charity partners?
At Howden, we’re driven by a desire to do more for the causes that matter most to our clients, colleagues, and communities. Whether it’s swapping football boots, giving away books, or even taking to the skies, we’re not afraid to go the extra mile to support meaningful initiatives. When we choose charity partners, we look for shared values, a strong local presence, and a genuine commitment to making a difference. Trust, collaboration, and community impact are at the heart of every partnership we build.”
More than just donations - a partnership with impact
“From day one, working with Learn to Love to Read has been a real pleasure. We share a common goal: to inspire a love of reading and support early literacy in children. Thanks to their support, our book exchange has become a permanent feature at our branch. While it’s primarily aimed at children aged 7–11, we welcome readers of all ages. It’s been wonderful to see local families engaging with the initiative and enjoying the books kindly donated by Learn to Love to Read.
Our partnership goes beyond donations. We’ve helped amplify their impact - hosting networking events, featuring them as Business of the Month, and their team has joined us too, leading reading sessions at our community fun days.
We’ve proudly backed key initiatives, from a Wreath Making Night to funding books for Tooting schools and printing certificates - strengthening community ties while supporting a cause we truly believe in.
