About Us
The Ethan Wright Foundation was created in memory of Ethan — a young man whose compassion, honesty, and brilliance continue to inspire change.
We are a UK-registered charity dedicated to supporting young people facing body dysmorphia, anorexia, mental health challenges, bullying, gender identity struggles, and LGBTQ+ discrimination.
Our work is grounded in Ethan’s lived experience, and our goal is simple: to ensure that no young person suffers in silence.
Through awareness, advocacy, funding, and partnerships, we support projects, research, and organisations that share our values. We believe in kindness, early intervention, and creating a world where young people feel safe, seen, and supported.
Whether you’re here to learn, to give, or to honour someone you love — thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can change lives.
Our Story
The Ethan Wright Foundation was created out of love, loss, and a powerful desire to make a difference.
Ethan was a brilliant, creative, and compassionate young man. He had an extraordinary ability to make others feel understood — even while he was carrying the weight of struggles that few could see. Throughout his life, Ethan lived with the quiet pain of body dysmorphia, intrusive thoughts, and deep emotional distress. Yet, he still believed in hope, in connection, and in the idea that things could be better.
After Ethan’s tragic, accidental death, his family and close friends knew that his voice couldn’t end there. His words — so honest, so articulate — became the foundation for something lasting: a charity that would support young people like him.
Today, the Ethan Wright Foundation exists to honour Ethan’s light and help ensure that no young person suffers in silence. Through research, advocacy, and funding, we work to create a world where early support is the norm, and kindness leads the way.
This is more than a charity. It’s a legacy of love — and a promise to do better for the next generation.
Our Initiatives
At the Ethan Wright Foundation, we are dedicated to driving change and progress in the areas of mental health support, body positivity, anti-bullying campaigns, and LGBTQ+ rights. Through our initiatives, we aim to provide educational resources, financial assistance, and advocacy for those in need. Our team is passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people and ensuring that their voices are heard and valued.
Our Team
The Ethan Wright Foundation is guided by a dedicated team of trustees, advisors, volunteers and supporters who bring personal experience, professional insight, and shared compassion to everything we do.
Many of us are here because we knew and loved Ethan — and all of us are committed to making a difference for young people like him. Together, we work to honour Ethan’s voice, uphold our values, and ensure that the Foundation is led with integrity, purpose, and care.
