WORTHY causes across Renfrewshire are being given the chance to land a windfall, courtesy of the Glasgow Airport FlightPath Fund.

More than £90,000 is being made available to community groups, charities and sustainability-themed projects which can demonstrate positive outcomes in education, employment or the environment.

The FlightPath Fund committee is especially keen to support sustainability-themed projects aimed at improving the environment in the communities local to Glasgow Airport this year.

Archie Hunter, chair of the FlightPath Fund, told The Gazette: “It was great to once again get the FlightPath Fund up and running towards the end of last year, and that in such a short space of time we were able to provide nearly £45,000 in vital support to such a diverse range of local groups.

“That Glasgow Airport is once again making funds available to help support neighbouring groups, clubs and organisations must be commended, particularly when you consider the huge challenges it and the wider aviation industry continues to face.

“Myself and my colleagues on the committee are keen to hear from as many local groups as possible this year, so we can continue to help provide support for those who need it most.”
