Welcome to Wired, UK
Wired was created on the 1st April 2003 by merging Wirral based organisations Living Options and Wirral Association for Disability. Today we operate under the name Wired which stands for Wirral Information Resource for Equality and Diversity.
Tribute to Dr Paul Dufton
It is with great sadness that WIRED need to report that Dr Paul Dufton passed away recently. As those who knew Paul will appreciate, WIRED would never have existed at all without Paul’s drive and determination. Paul was an active volunteer at WIRED and previously at the organisations that merged to create WIRED for a period spanning more than 35 years. Paul retired from his role as a WIRED Trustee earlier this year in July. When Paul retired from his role as a Trustee, WIRED presented him with a WIRED lifetime achievement certificate, which he was immensely proud of.
Paul’s voluntary roles extended beyond his work at WIRED in to Heritage and Arts projects, the Disabled Ramblers and many more, often fearlessly taking on challenges that would be enough to stop the majority of people in their tracks. In closing, WIRED would like to pay tribute to Dr Paul Dufton, who lived an extraordinary life of dedication and service to others.
