We've raised over £1 million for our charity partners since 2015

From marathon running and Tough Mudder challenges to cake baking and marshalling, our energetic and passionate workforce enjoy fundraising for our charity partners who are changing lives and making a real difference in the communities around the airport.

It’s important to our colleagues and passengers to support causes that help local people, so we’re focused on ensuring that our support is being directed back into the communities where we live and work.

In 2019 our colleagues voted to concentrate our efforts into making a big impact for SASH and in 2020 we welcomed them as our newest charity partner.
