Description

Manchester Airport Community Trust Fund

Each year Manchester Airports Group contributes £100,000 to the Fund; any fines levied at aircraft that have breached our stringent noise limits are also paid into the Fund. These funds are then used to support neighbourhood and community projects throughout the area.

Applications are considered four times a year by a board of Trustees from Manchester Airport and the local authorities of Stockport, Trafford, Manchester, Tameside, Cheshire East and Cheshire West Council. This means that with great local insight and expertise, the Trustees evaluate applications using their knowledge to ensure the greatest possible benefit goes to the community. 

The Community Trust Fund award grants to a maximum of £3,000. To be successful a group MUST:

  • Carry out positive work in the community and be of charitable nature and be ‘Not for Profit’ status.

  • Be Community, Socially or Environmentally focused

  • Based within the area of benefit

  • Apply for funding for tangible items of lasting benefit

If you have any further questions please contact us at trust.fund@manairport.co.uk

The next application deadline is 7th June 2025, with applications being considered by the trustees on 7th July 2025.

Applications received after 7th June will be put into the next meeting in October 2025
