The airline launched the fund last year in line with its GreenSkies environmental programme, which includes a commitment to become net zero by 2040. Six organisations were each presented £5,000 to establish a renewable energy scheme.

The first, Macaulay College, is based on the Isle of Lewis and is a not-for-profit organisation which supports adults and young people with social and educational needs. The college said it planned to use the money to invest in solar panels.

The airline’s charity partner Children’s Hospices Across Scotland was another successful applicant and will use funds for charging points for electric vehicles at its Robin House site in Balloch.

The four other successful organisations are the Islay Development Initiative, a socio-environmental charity operating across Islay and Jura; Haroldswick Methodist Church on the Isle of Uist; Auld Skule, a recycling unit in Shetland; and Eday Community Enterprises, a community-run shop in Orkney.

Jonathan Hinkles, chief executive of Loganair, said: “Our GreenSkies Community Fund is supporting six different initiatives that will not only tackle carbon emissions but also benefit communities by providing power that reduces energy bills.”
