I grew up in Weymouth and although I’ve worked away for many years, this has always been home. We moved back to Weymouth in 2014 and in 2016 purchased and renovated a harbour-side property which is now the location of The Bridge Fair Trade Shop. The shop is run by the Fairbridge Trust, a charity which in addition to promoting Fair Trade goods, raises money for the relief of poverty locally and overseas. I am a Director of Weymouth Civic Society and strongly believe that Weymouth’s heritage and our historic harbour should be exploited to a much greater extent to promote the area, particularly outside the traditional season.
