Jet2’s airline brand Jet2.com and its tour operator Jet2holidays have raised more than £1.5m for their charity partners over the last two years.

Since it launched in 2023 the holiday brands have focused on supporting good causes that keep children safe, protect the environment and support those with cancer.

Benefiting from the money are charity partners NSPCC, Macmillan, Trees for Cities, Planet Patrol and Hope for Children.

Activities have included fundraising during Macmillan Coffee Mornings, Mental Health Awareness Week, NSPCC Dragon Boat Races, Christmas activities such as a Christmas Jumper Day, hiking for Macmillan Mighty Hikes, and a 24-hour cycling event.

Passengers could also buy on-board scratch cards to raise further funds.

Jet2 brands have also been involved in team building day for National Apprenticeship Week and donating children’s gifts to the NSPCC.

“We are delighted to have raised this phenomenal amount of money for our charity partners and to support the fantastic work carried out by these organisations not only in the UK, but in our destinations too,” said David Neill, corporate affairs and sustainability director at the airline and tour operator brands.

“Thanks to the generosity of customers purchasing our on-board scratch cards and our team of colleagues who are extremely passionate about supporting these worthwhile causes, we have been able to raise important funds and support our partners with volunteering efforts too.

“We know that our valued partners will benefit from our fundraising efforts, and we are delighted to be supporting them with these vital funds.”
