Eric Wright Charitable Trust Grants 2025/26

Bolton CVS is working in partnership with the Eric Wright Charitable Trust to administer the 2025/26 Eric Wright Trust Grants Programme. The grants programme is aimed at small, grassroots voluntary and community groups in Bolton delivering activities that promote inclusion and wellbeing and encourage the participation of local people. Small grants of up to £1000 are available for projects and activities that make a positive difference to the lives and wellbeing of people of all ages in Bolton. All funded projects must help communities in one or more of the following ways: support people to feel connected and more active in their communities, encourage participation of local people in community activities, support people to have a better quality of life through improved mental and physical wellbeing, enable people of all ages to develop new skills and opportunities, and promote partnership working between community organizations. The grants are for constituted voluntary or community groups and registered charities with an income of under £30,000 in the last complete financial year.
