Lifeline- The ABTA Charitable Trust
LifeLine is ABTA’s charitable trust. Previously called the ABTA Benevolent Fund, it was set up to help people in the travel industry who need it most.We award grants and loans to help with everything from serious medical problems to sudden financial hardship. So far, we’ve supported more than 500 families, awarding over £500,000.
Our vision is that everyone in the ABTA family has somewhere to turn in times of personal crisis. We want to make sure you know what sort of help is there for you and how you can access it – just as you do everything you can to support your customers.
Which charities can I support?
Donations can be made to any UK registered national/local charity or recognised good cause – including places of worship, schools, and foodbanks.
You can nominate more than one charity to benefit from your donations, and you can easily change the amount or nominated causes at any time.
If your chosen cause is not listed on this site, you can still support them. Just make sure to include their registered charity number so there is no delay in forwarding on your donation.
If you’d like to make a difference close to home, you can choose to support University of Manchester students and research, or donate to Manchester Museum. Just look for 'The University of Manchester' on the drop-down menu when making your donation.
