Charities gain from Edinburgh Airport drop off parking charge
27.01.12
Over £100,000 has been given to local charities from money raised by Edinburgh Airport's drop off parking charge. 15p taken from the £1 charge passengers pay to use the drop off car park outside the airport is given to charity. Trees4Scotland and Edinburgh City Council's eco schools programme are among those who have received grants from the money raised.
An Edinburgh Airport spokesman said: ‘We are keen for our passengers to understand that part of their £1 is helping to fund some excellent educational projects. One of the most recent Environmental Fund beneficiaries is the Trees4Scotland's Tree Amigos programme which educates about 300 primary school pupils every year about climate change, carbon footprints, trees and woodland wildlife.'
