ADS’s Dr Chris Russell commended Wright’s “clear and inspirational leadership qualities”. Wright, who is dementia care lead at the Bristol-based housing and care charity and has implemented a highly regarded human rights framework there, said that he was honoured to receive the award given in memory of Brian Hennell.  “I appreciate this recognition of my work and also the recognition it brings to the work of my colleagues across Brunelcare who each day strive to deliver the very best care they can for people living with dementia.”
