The large grants awards are funded in a unique way by money collected from Heathrow’s airlines that breach the Government’s noise limits on departure.  Airlines are fined £500 for breaches of 3 decibels or less and £1,000 for over 3 decibels (for more information visit www.heathrowairport.com/noise). 

The awards are designed to help groups across the Heathrow area to fund projects to support their community and improve their local environment with awards of over £2,500 and up to £50,000.  The awards are made up to three times a year.
