Martin

Martin joined Gateway Club in early 2014 after a successful 22-year career in financial services. He initially became involved as a minibus driver, collecting members from across the Colchester area and bringing them to the Friday Club at the Wilson Marriage Centre before ensuring they returned home safely at the end of the evening. Alongside this, Martin volunteered at both the Friday Club in Colchester and the Thursday Club in Clacton, building strong relationships with members and gaining first-hand experience of the positive impact Gateway Club has within the community.

In recognition of his dedication and commitment to the charity, Martin became a Trustee at the end of 2020 and now serves as the Secretary to the Board. In this role, he helps support the governance and administration of the organisation while contributing to its ongoing development and success.

Martin finds his involvement with Colchester Gateway Clubs immensely rewarding and is passionate about helping create opportunities for members to enjoy social activities, build friendships, and thrive in a supportive environment.
