SUPPORTING LOCAL COMMUNITIES
We have always been committed to supporting our local communities. We believe we should share the fruits of Wainwright’s success with our neighbours. It’s part of our commitment to doing the right thing.
Our foundation
THE WAINWRIGHT FUTURES FOUNDATION
We established the Wainwright Futures Foundation to celebrate our 125th anniversary in 2016. Since then, we’ve donated over £200,000 to local charities and causes, helping build community throughout our local area. We’re proud of the difference we’ve made, and commit to continue contributing in the years ahead.
our causes
WHO WE SUPPORT
The Wainwright Futures Foundation supports local causes, charities and organisations that focus on at least one of the following areas:
- Community flourishing
- The environment and sustainability
- Education
Anyone is welcome to apply to our fund. We offer small grants of up to £500, as well as larger contributions for more substantial projects. Our trustees meet at least twice a year to consider applications for larger funds, and smaller donations are awarded between meetings.

THE WAINWRIGHT WAY
“I feel proud of the contribution the Wainwright Futures Foundation makes to the local area. Evidence of our donations can be seen at sports clubs, village halls, churches and charities throughout the area. It’s an important legacy and it’s an honour to play a part in administering the Foundation’s funds.”
