Tony Wright, Jewellery making

Tony Wright, from North Tyneside, served in the Royal Marines. He is a former social worker and probation officer, and in 2013 he established the veteran’s charity Forward Assist. He now hopes to create a small business selling bespoke sterling silver jewellery, and 2025 training bursary was used to fund training with a local silversmithing studio.

Tony’s bursary was funded by the Royal British Legion.
