MORE than £115,000 in grants is awarded to community groups for young people in the final round of Heathrow Community Trust Grants for 2019.
The trust, now in its 22nd year, awards approximately £1m a year to communities around the airport.
It is supported by an annual donation of £725k from Heathrow and contributions from other companies operating at the airport, such as John Lewis, Balfour Beatty and Fujitsu.
Fines levied on airlines when they break the noise regulations also go towards the fund.
