What is Gatwick Airport Community Trust?Gatwick Airport Community Trust is an independent charity set up by the legally binding agreement between West Sussex County Council, Crawley Borough Council and Gatwick Airport Limited, following publication of the airport’s Sustainable Development Strategy. Gatwick Airport Limited funds contributions, increasing each year so as to provide protection against inflation, to the Trust. In 2008/09 this amounted to £163,000. In addition, the Trust receives money raised through noise fines on those airlines that infringe noise limits set by the UK Government on those aircraft taking off at Gatwick Airport, though the value of such fines has now fallen and is now normally less than £10,000 pa. We would like to emphasise that the Gatwick Airport Community Trust is an independent charity. The purpose of setting up the Trust was to ensure that, as the airport continued to grow, funds generated by the existence of the airport should be made available to a board of independent trustees and they should be directed back into the community that was affected by the airport and its continuing growth. 
Who runs the Trust?The Trust is an independent charity run by a board of nine trustees – all volunteers. They have been nominated by the organisations named in the legal agreement.
