The Eric Wright Charitable Trust is a charitable body that was formed by Mr. Wright in 1990, based on the belief that the role of business in society is not to create wealth for the few but instead is fundamental to the building of a strong community. Originally vested with 49% of the shareholding, the Trust is now the sole owner of 100% of the Eric Wright Group – an award-winning leader in the UK property and construction industry – following the gift of his remaining shares by Mr. Wright.
The Trust works with a broad range of charities, primarily in the North West of England, including those with a focus on Young Persons’ Wellbeing.  There are three grant programmes, Major Grants, Community Grants and Minor Grants and currently Lancaster CVS are managing a round for grants up to £1,000 for smaller voluntary sector groups in Lancaster with an income of less than £50,000 per annum.
