Bristol Airport has launched its new Local Community Fund to support projects and community groups in the local area that are most affected by the Airport’s operations. The Airport Environmental and Amenity Improvement Fund (known as the Bristol Airport Local Community Fund 2024) was set up as one of the commitments the Airport agreed to provide in connection with its planning permission for development over the next decade.
Each year, Bristol Airport will contribute £100,000 to the Bristol Airport Local Community Fund 2024. The Fund’s Management Committee includes representatives from both the Airport, North Somerset Council and is independently chaired. Community projects that would benefit include those that will improve and protect the natural environment, noise mitigation for non-residential buildings and traffic implications associated with passengers using the Airport. The new Diamond Fund will seek to support projects in the local area which do not meet the criteria for Bristol Airport’s Local Community Fund. Any community ventures that fit the criteria of either the Local Community Fund or the Diamond Fund are encouraged to apply.
