Sponsorship

As well as supporting big local and regional projects, we’re also aware that there are many worthwhile community groups and projects that work on a smaller scale.

We receive a large number of requests for help every week, and we try to help as many groups and projects as possible.

Support for local initiatives has long been a feature of our work and every year a range of local groups benefits from an airport grant. The aim of these grants is to contribute to the success of areas most heavily affected by our operations, for example by supporting local village fetes, arts groups, local museums, sporting initiatives – and many others besides.

How should I apply to the airport for sponsorship?
All requests should be received in writing (either by letter or email) and should detail include information on:

• Who will benefit from the project or event?
• Where will your project or event take place?
• What level of funding do you require?
• What the money will be spent on?
• How will the airport be recognised at your project or event?

Sponsorship requests will be considered at the end of every calendar month with a response by letter or email the following week.

Please note
Sponsorship will not be used to fund project or event running costs, salaries or maintenance.

Sponsorship must have a community or group benefit

Sponsorship cannot be given to national charities at this time.

Funding is not provided to schools or colleges for specialist status applications unless in our immediate area.
