Edinburgh Airport Seeks New Charity Partner
Created: 16/10/2023Edinburgh Airport is now inviting applications as it seeks a new Charity Partner for 2024 and 2025.
Since the start of 2022 the airport has been collaborating with West Lothian based charity The Larder and the two-year partnership will finish at the end of this year.
Previous charity partners include Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH), The Yard, and Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA).
For the upcoming partnership, and as part of its commitment to supporting local communities, the airport will accept applications from Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife and Falkirk.
Priority will be given to charities that support or align with the four pillars of Greater Good, the airport’s sustainability strategy:
Zero Carbon - charities seeking solutions to climate change and helping in their journey to net zero
Enhancing Scotland - charities working to improve local biodiversity, tackle waste, or clean water
Scotland’s Best Business - charities that help people into employment, benefit mental and physical wellbeing, or support marginalised groups
Trusted Neighbour - charities that foster community engagement, or support others to do the same
The airport will also prioritise an active partner who will embrace an exchange of skills and knowledge, and collaborate on joint fundraising events and volunteering opportunities.
Since the airport’s charity partnerships have started more than £600,000 has been raised for the good causes.
The application form can be accessed here.
For more information on the Greater Good strategy visit the Edinburgh Airport website.
Applications will remain open until 23.59 on Friday 20 October 2023.
