Charities are set to benefit from new funding aimed at boosting community projects.
London City Airport has awarded £36,000 to 13 charities and not-for-profit groups through its Community Fund, supporting organisations across east London to deliver services benefiting residents in boroughs including Tower Hamlets, Newham, and Hackney.
Each group will receive up to £3,000 to deliver frontline services, from tackling food insecurity to improving youth opportunities.

Andy Cliffe, chief executive officer at London City Airport, said: "We are proud of our East London roots and we are committed to supporting the future of our communities. Our Community Fund is one of the many ways we are making a positive and lasting impact on the lives of those we work alongside."
Since launching in 2019, the fund has distributed £598,000 to more than 180 community organisations.
Among this year's recipients are Hackney Foodbank, the Burdett Foundation in Poplar, and homelessness charity NEWway Project. The deadline for applications to the next round of funding is June 26, 2026.
The airport has also invested more than £240,000 in 2025 in education, partnerships, and community events, contributing to broader programmes such as its Women in Aviation scheme and the Meet the Buyer event for local SMEs.
