David Haslam
Chair, Management Committee David is a Methodist Minister, semi-retired, but has always been involved in social justice issues. Tax Justice, when he first learned about it from Nicholas Shaxson’s book ‘Treasure Islands’, struck him as one of those crucial campaigns one has to be part of. He worked in London for 35 years but now lives in Evesham with his wife and 15 year-old daughter. He is a Manchester United supporter with the same problem as Justin |
