The Fund allows organisations either managing or establishing projects within the proximity of the airport, which meet all three key areas as identified above, to bid for funding.

Funding allocations will be awarded in the areas most affected by the airport’s operations in terms of noise, which is outlined in the contour map here. The Health Strategy Area changes over time so the Southampton Airport Spitfire Wellbeing Fund's Board will regularly review criteria and boundaries.

Decisions on all applications will be reviewed and approved by The Fund’s Board, an independent body which includes representation from the city and district local authorities in Eastleigh, Southampton and Winchester. Southampton Airport representatives will also sit on the board in an administrative capacity.

Currently, the cap on funding per application is £5000, and the funding will be awarded at the absolute discretion of the Board.

Applications will be reviewed on a bi-annual basis at meetings held in late April and late October.   Applications must be sent three weeks prior to the relevant meetings and be submitted using either the online application form which can be found here or downloaded here and sending it to this address:

Southampton Airport Spitfire Wellbeing Fund

Southampton Airport
Wide Lane
Southampton
SO18 2NL

It is essential that anyone making an award application ensures they understand the Funding Guidelines, which can be accessed here.

If an organisation has been granted an award, they may not apply again within 12 months of receiving the funding.
