We want our team to feel empowered to give back to their local community and support their local area, and with this in mind, all our Lounges are able to run their own events and fundraising on local matters that are important to them and their customers. Each lounge team receives £1,000 to use as they want to support a local charity or cause that matters to their community Every June, all of our Lounges take part in LoungeAid, our annual fundraising event where our Lounge teams choose a charity that is important to their community to support and raise money by holding different events. In 2025, we raised over £200,000 for local charities during LoungeAid. All of our Lounges have their own social accounts. Make sure to check out the posts from your local Lounge to see how they use their Community Fund.
