Stansted Airport are about to close the short list for local charities to win the airport’s £50,000 annual charity donation.

The Stansted Community Fund, a part of BAA’s Communities Trust, is in its second year and plans to annually donate a large sum of money to a local charity or not-for-profit organisation that is involved with either the environment, education or employment.

The closing date for the short list is Friday 2nd September, of which the winner will be chosen from a panel of local judges.

Last year, local charity the Hatfield Broad Oak Village Green Project won the Stansted charity donation.
