The Wainwright family runs two trusts, one charitable, one non-charitable. The trusts are based on the family's traditions of liberal values and support for the socially disempowered. The trustees are all family members, based in West Yorkshire.
 
 

The SWC supports a wide range of charitable projects with an emphasis on social reform and tackling the root causes of social inequity. Trustees give priority to applicants working in Yorkshire and Manchester, and also have an interest in Zimbabwe. Find out more

 

The AWRT has a wide-ranging remit, striving for a just and democratic society, redressing political and social injustices, on a local, national or international level. The AWRT is not a charitable trust, but a non-profit-making limited company. This means the Trust gives grants for political and pressure group work that a registered charity could not support.
