Creggan Country Park
A hospice, a woodland trust, and a sustainability-focused education centre are among the community projects and small organisations set to benefit from the latest round of support from Loganair’s GreenSkies Community Fund.
The UK’s leading regional airline has announced this year’s recipients of the GreenSkies Community Fund, an initiative that supports charities, community groups, and small businesses in reaching their sustainability goals.
The GreenSkies Community Fund is a key pillar of Loganair’s broader environmental strategy, which includes commitments to emissions reduction, next-generation aircraft, and reaching net zero by 2040. Since the fund’s inception, over £100,000 has been awarded to sustainable community projects.
Among this year's winning projects was Shed the Light, Derry. The project was awarded £5,000 to install a solar generator at Creggan Country Park’s Nature Hub, supporting renewable energy workshops and hands-on environmental education for local schools and community groups.
Rebecca Borresen, director of safety and sustainability at Loganair, said: “GreenSkies is about helping the communities we serve build a greener, more sustainable future.

"From solar-powered workshops in Derry to peatland restoration in the Scottish Isles, these projects are fantastic examples of local action tackling global challenges, and Loganair is proud to support them.
“What’s especially inspiring is how each initiative reflects the unique needs and strengths of its local area. Whether it’s creating hands-on learning opportunities, restoring natural habitats, or making everyday transport more sustainable, these organisations are putting climate action into practice in ways that are inclusive, practical, and community-led.”
The GreenSkies programme was launched in July 2021 with the introduction of a mandatory carbon offsetting charge on all flights, with funds invested in accredited offsetting and community sustainability schemes. Loganair remains the only UK regional airline represented on the UK Government’s Jet Zero Council.
