Belfast City Airport opens community fund for next round of support

Designed to deliver support to projects that have a positive impact, Belfast City Airport’s Community Fund has contributed more than £656,000 to over 231 projects since its inception in 2009.

Charlotte Clarke, Community Fund Ambassador at Belfast City Airport, commented: “At Belfast City Airport, we are close to the city and close to causes that matter to our city, and we believe in playing an active role in supporting the communities we serve.

“Through the Community Fund, we have had the privilege of supporting hundreds of groups that are working hard to make a real difference on the ground.”

With a focus on education, sustainability, social inclusion, and health and wellbeing, recent beneficiaries include The Conservation Volunteers, which delivered a biodiversity project to schools across Belfast; Kirkubbin Integrated Primary School, which created a school sensory room; and People’s Kitchen, which used the funding to support people that are homeless in the local area.

Charlotte continued: “Our funding helps local programmes thrive, and we would encourage local organisations with meaningful projects to come forward.

“Being a responsible neighbour is central to who we are, and our Community Fund reflects our long-term commitment to building stronger, healthier, and more inclusive communities.”

Belfast City Airport’s Community Fund is now open for applications across Greater Belfast, Ards, and North Down until 23rd May 2025.
