Cardiff Airport selects its latest charity partner

Cardiff Airport has announced British Heart Foundation Cymru as its chosen charity partner for the next 12 months.

This news comes following an airport-wide vote, where employees voted from three shortlisted charities that were identified following an application process earlier this year.

Spencer Birns, CEO of Cardiff Airport said; “It is fantastic to be working with BHF Cymru. This is an opportunity for our colleagues across all departments to work together and develop innovative ways to raise funds for an organisation that does so much to support the communities living in Wales. 

We really look forward to supporting and helping with fundraising for BHF Cymru over the next 12 months”.

British Heart Foundation Cymru provides support to people living with heart and circulatory disease in Wales and also invests £3.6m in lifesaving research work in Welsh universities.

This partnership will see the Cardiff Airport team working with BHF Cymru to arrange events and activities at the Airport to raise vital funds this year.

Adam Fletcher, Head of BHF Cymru said: “We are delighted to have been selected by Cardiff Airport as their Charity of the Year, and incredibly grateful for the support of our research to help save and improve lives. 

We look forward to working with Cardiff Airport to raise vital funds, which in turn, will allow us to create new treatments and discover new cures that will impact thousands of families in Wales.”
