Brenton Wright
In memory of Brenton Wright who passed away on 2nd November 2017.
Lighthouse Disability were privileged to have had Brenton Wright as Chair for more than 2 years and Director for more than 3 years. During this time Brenton led us through significant change. He was much admired and respected for his expertise, intellect and strong sense of purpose. Above all we valued him for who he was; a vibrant personality, engaging, irreverent and clear about things that mattered.
Thank you to Brenton's family who requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Lighthouse Disability. We are very grateful for this generosity. Thank you also to the many people who have honoured the memory of Brenton by making a donation.
