Heathrow has a long history of working in partnership with charities and of employees engaging in activities and campaigns to support them. Our partnerships with Oxfam, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and the Heathrow Community Fund increase employee mojo, make Heathrow a great place to work and enable us to give something back to local communities close to the airport, nationally in the UK and internationally. Our colleagues engage with our partners through fundraising and volunteering, contributing their time, energy and skills to make a positive contribution. They have come up with and run unique, innovative challenge events such as racing a plane from London to Toronto on bikes and running a marathon on one of Heathrow’s runways. These engage colleagues right across Heathrow and raise significant funds for our partners.
