Luton Airport exhibition highlights charity partnership with Sue Ryder
Passengers arriving at London Luton Airport this Summer will have the opportunity to learn more about the work carried out by the Airport’s charity partner Sue Ryder with a new exhibition on display in the Airport’s Gateway Gallery. The exhibition forms part of the Airport’s commitment to support a nominated charity partner through its new Community Engagement Strategy.
Sue Ryder provides specialist medical care and emotional support to 16,400 people living with incurable illness every year. Funds raised from the partnership will go towards supporting Sue Ryder’s specialist care centres; Stagenhoe in Hertfordshire and St John’s Hospice in Bedfordshire.
Since partnering with Sue Ryder in 2012 the Airport has raised over £80,000. Funds have been raised through a variety of events and initiatives such as a charity cycle ride from the Control Tower at London Luton Airport to the Eiffel Tower in Paris this September.
Jason Suckley, director of marketing and fundraising, Sue Ryder, commented on the exhibition. He said: "We are proud to be London Luton Airport’s charity partner for 2012 and 2013. The coming together of our charity and the Airport continues to bring great benefits to us all. The Gallery exhibition is a really exciting opportunity for us, offering our charity the chance to engage with Airport passengers highlighting the quality complex care we provide to individuals with incurable illnesses and their families across the region."
The Gallery, delivered in partnership with Luton Culture, is located in the main terminal building adjacent to the Onward Travel Centre. Sue Ryder’s exhibition will be on display until October.
