Since June 2010, British Airways’ Flying Start programme has worked in partnership with Comic Relief to help give disadvantaged young people in the communities we fly to the chance to have a brighter future. So far, thanks to the incredible efforts of our colleagues and customers, we have raised over £30 million and counting.
In the past three years, we’ve raised more than £2 million alone for early childhood development projects in the UK, India, South Africa, and Ghana. These projects include community-based health and education services, as well as providing support to families with young children.
I'm participating in the Tough Mudder challenge as it is a brilliant opportunity to raise some money for an amazing cause that supports young people globally.
