Dagne is a chess player, coach and organizer of chess events. She is an International Chess Master who used to compete professionally, representing Lithuania and later England at the large official chess tournaments, Chess Olympiads and European Team and Individual Chess Championships.
Dagne said ‘Not long ago, my children and I wanted to purchase some land to grow a forest. So, when I came across 'Martlesham Wilds' we decided to help this amazing campaign instead. I feel sorry that wild animals are continually under threat from development. The vision of them having a home forever at Martlesham Wilds makes me happy!’
