Working in our Community

At Manchester Airport, we have a long history of working in close and active partnership with our local communities to help share the benefits of our success.

Community Strategy

Today, we focus our community work on the areas closest to the Airport and give priority to those with the greatest social and economic need. Our approach for working in the community is set out in our Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy for 2020 - 2025. 

Community Review

Our 2021/2022 Corporate Social Responsibility Progress Update summarises how we work with our neighbouring communities and details some of the activities Airport staff have been involved in over the last twelve months. We hope that you will appreciate the wide range of activities we have developed. As you will find in the Review, over the last twelve months we have continued our work with our neighbouring communities and schools. Our intentions remain the same, to add value and create opportunity. Our Social Responsibility activities are at the core of our business and we embrace the opportunities that they provide to develop our own colleagues.

Manchester Airport Community Trust Fund

We encourage our colleagues to participate in community initiatives, particularly where they have the opportunity to share skills and learn new ones. We believe that support in kind is often more important than money and do not offer direct financial support, other than through the Manchester Airport Community Trust Fund.

Charities and schools in our community which do not qualify for funding from our Trust Fund may apply for prizes for fund-raising.

To celebrate Manchester Airport Community Trust Fund's 25th Anniversary we ran a School's Eco Garden Competition - see more information.
