Charities

Airbourne has supported local charities with more than £100,000 in donations over the last decade, thanks to our kind airshow visitors.

Volunteers from a number of charities will be collecting during the show with 30% of donations being shared with the charity registered to that collection bucket. 

The Airbourne bucket collection is organised by the Rotary Club of Hailsham along with a team of volunteers.

Each year Airbourne and the Rotary Club of Hailsham select local charities to take part as volunteer collectors, with each charity receiving 30% of the donations collected in their buckets.

The 2025 chosen charities are:

Royal British Legion Industries

Breatheasy Eastbourne

St Wilfrid's Hospice

The Guide Association Eastbourne Division

The Matthew 25 Mission

Demelza Hospice Care for Children

Forward Facing

Eastbourne Dementia Action Alliance

The bucket collections can only take place with the help of volunteers.  If you are interested in volunteering your time to help collect at the show, then please email airbournevolunteering@gmail.com.
