Roger Haydon

I retired from the NHS (National Health Service) in 2012 having worked as a senior information manager. Now, I volunteer at projects involved in gardening, helping children get access to the countryside and working with children doing story writing. I also have my own allotment growing veggies and fruit and write flash fiction and short stories which occasionally get published. 

My interest in Doughnut/Deal is around wanting an alternative and positive narrative on economics to the leaden conventional one. Currently I'm heavily involved in a campaign to stop the massive expansion of holidaymaker/leisure aviation at my local airport and across the UK. Aviation epitomises all that's wrong with the dominant, profit driven, extractive model that breaks our local economy in the North East of England and accelerates climate change as it grows. It has to be stopped.
