Our charitable organisation over the years has recognised the huge impact of Luton Rising on the community with investment in local services totalling nearly £500m since 1998. The level of investment into the voluntary sector, 53p from each passenger which is 20 times higher than other airports has contributed to building a vibrant town, inclusive and innovative town. Luton Rising has demonstrated their commitment to the environment and the local community by putting them first and central through the development of the Green Controlled Growth framework. This development is welcomed as it will increase investment in the community, changing the lives of local people, raise aspirations and secure long term prosperity for the area.
