Over the past five years, more than £60,000 has been donated to support local groups.

The 2020 Airbus Community Awards will once again see £20,000 share between 10 deserving causes.

Projects must be with an 20-mile radius of the Airbus Broughton site (CH4 0DR).

Projects can be submitted from charities or community groups.

Projects must be focused on the areas of youth, education, environment and inclusion.

Preference will be given to applications that have not previously benefited from this fund.

We'll be sharing the prize money as follows:

  • First Prize - £7,000
  • Second Prize - £4,000
  • Third Prize - £2,000
  • Seven runners up will each receive £1,000
