Growing the Good

For a person to prosper they need roots and wings.

Strong roots of security, traditions and strength enable a person to discover a sense of self, grow wings and fly.

The Wright Family Foundation supports individuals to achieve their full potential through education, health and environmental initiatives. By advancing education and spreading knowledge, the objective is to:

Benefit New Zealand communities and youth
Promote family wellbeing
Improve the wellbeing of New Zealanders and their communities through education

Our current areas of focus include early childhood care, child health services, music, literacy and maternity wrap around services

Since 1996, Chloe and Wayne Wright have built New Zealand’s largest privately owned Early Learning Childcare organisation, Best Start (formerly Kidicorp). This stemmed from a desire to make a positive difference in New Zealand society by helping to promote and demonstrate to our youngest members the values of collaboration, sharing, and kindness. We believe that in the earliest years of a child’s life, it is far more about relationships than skills that prepare the way for confident, able people to enter the world stage.

Mothers Matter is a collaboration of committed individuals, health professionals and parents who are united in a common goal to have a nationwide discussion about the need for excellent perinatal care. Equity of care is what’s needed: mothers should have the right to choose where they receive their birthing and postnatal care. Only Government can legislate to provide this basic right through a ring- fenced fund from the Ministry of Health.
