Following on from our initial application to Birmingham Airport for the Birmingham Airport Community Trust Fund, Strategy & Operations Director Mat Emery successfully applied for and met the requirements and deadlines for a successful application.

“We are delighted to inform you that the trustees have awarded you the full amount of the grant.”

“This decision reflects the confidence we have in your proposed initiative and its potential impact on the community.”

The Birmingham Airport Community Trust Fund makes grants from £500 to £5,000 to small community-based organisations. Core funded directly by the Airport Company and topped-up by any penalties levied on airlines breaching our noise limits, grants are awarded by a board of independent Trustees representing local authorities and the Airport Consultative Committee. Typically, the Trust Fund usually makes grants of around £100,000 each year and a total of over £1.8 million has been awarded to date.

This is excellent news for the football club as we look to improve our facilities and continue to improve our level of service and satisfaction to the local community, for which we are extremely grateful to Birmingham Airport and its board of trustees.
