Local charities across Sussex, Surrey, Kent and beyond benefited from combined donations of more than £750,000 from London Gatwick during 2023 – the highest amount donated by the airport in a single year.
More than 160 charities, including initiatives fighting social isolation, tackling disadvantage, and providing aid to vulnerable communities, have received vital funds through the Gatwick Airport Community Trust, the Gatwick Foundation Fund and the VINCI UK Foundation – totalling more than £510,000.
A further £210,000 was raised for London Gatwick’s official charity partners – Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (SASH Charity), Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS), and Gatwick TravelCare – as well as the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.
London Gatwick staff also collectively pledged more than £33,000 – helped by the airport’s match-funding commitment – for charities close to their own hearts, through a variety of events, donations and sponsorships.
