We’re close to the city and close to the causes that matter to our city

At Belfast City Airport, community is at the heart of everything we do, and we remain dedicated to making a positive impact by supporting local projects that strengthen our vibrant local community.

About the Community Fund

We launched the Community Fund in February 2009, and since then, we've donated over £780,000 to local projects.

We believe in being a good neighbour, engaging directly with the local community to identify projects and initiatives that can benefit from our support. Our Community Fund helps schools, sports teams, community centres, choirs, educational campaigns, and exciting event programmes thrive.

At the Heart of our Community

Community Fund Projects

'Music and Me' programme

Designed for those aged two to four diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder or those on their journey toward diagnosis.

People's Kitchen Belfast Homeless Outreach

The Community Fund is supporting the vital outreach services by People’s Kitchen North Belfast.

Seaview Primary School

Seaview Primary School has opened a new outdoor sensory walk and garden, made possible through funding from Belfast City Airport’s Community Fund.

“Many disabled young people leave education and find themselves in a sort of limbo. All Doors Open was created to change this by creating a place and purpose for our participants and helping them to develop the skills that will allow them to fully take part in the life of their communities. The support we received from Belfast City Airport has been invaluable, in fact, it very much saved a fledging programme, so we are thrilled to have been able to deliver the initiative this year and to be making a real difference with the Airport’s help.” - Grainne Woods, Kids In Control – Community Fund Recipient

Charity Partner

We partner with a local charity that has a real impact in our community. This year we are proudly supporting White Ribbon NI

White Ribbon NI supports the global movement working to end violence against women and girls. Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, White Ribbon NI aims to create lasting cultural change, leading to a society free from violence and fear.

As part of the partnership, our team members will take part in and organise a range of fundraising activities and host educational sessions for staff, raising awareness of White Ribbon NI and the work needed to create a culture of respect and equality where all can thrive.

Working Together
