Donna Murray

Hi, I am a thirty something working woman married to Andrew. I grew up in a village in rural Somerset, went to University in York www.york.ac.uk before moving to Chippenham to be near my job. I enjoy living in Wiltshire and spend time at home on gardening, doing house projects or meeting up with people. I am always trying to keep fit and my current favourite is walking with our daughter in the pushchair.

I am passionate about seeing global poverty halved by 2015 www.un.org/millenniumgoals seeing individuals and communities round the world switch to a more sustainable way of life that respects other people and our environment. I would like to see local workplaces, governments and multi-national companies taking seriously the need to ensure justice is done in all their work. It is great to see how many products have recently switched to Fair Trade giving UK shoppers a connection with the people who grow tropical fruit like bananas – and closer to home Wiltshire farmers are promoting the low food miles option.

An alternative life that appeals would be a period of city life maybe on a house boat in Bristol docks but with the chance to up anchor and move on to the next mooring back out to the countryside again.

I keep track of friends, and occasionally journal my thoughts, on my facebook account: www.new.facebook.com/profile.php?id=871770227
