As a small Charity, the donations made through fundraising is vital to our survival and directly contributes to the important work that we do. Gatwick Aviation Museum receives no government funding and is an entirely self-supporting charitable organisation. The Charity only exists through the hard work and dedication of its volunteers and relies heavily on the financial support raised through our may fundraising projects. We are however more than just a museum. We work with a range of schools, colleges, and universities to provide' hands on' and theoretical experience to young people, who wish to join the industry that exists today. We provide families across the South, a gateway into the heritage of British aviation. We support young people in their future careers, and we provide a safe place for children to play, learn and develop. We are part of the community and are at the very heart of aviation history in the South of England. We matter and we need your help.
