We do not have any staff in Scotland so the work of running the Mamie Martin Fund falls to the Trustees, who are all volunteers. They are helped by a band of other volunteers, whose assistance is essential to our work.
Helen Robbie is one of Mamie Martin’s great granddaughters. She is a music tutor and choir director. While being a busy Mum to Calum and Andrew, Helen has dusted off her graphic design skills from school Highers some time ago and creates wonderful graphics for us to use on this website and on social media. This started as part of #Pledge100 but has continued so that we have professional content across our platforms.
James Champion is a translator and got involved with MMF because of his late wife’s friendship with Mamie Martin’s granddaughter. He is an enthusiastic participant in MMF projects and assists with our written communications. His trained eye means that our emails and bulletins are clear and accurate.
Janet Sinclair is one of Mamie Martin’s granddaughters. She has had a life-long passion for learning languages, has taught students aged from 5 to 85. Janet runs a language school in Northern Portugal and has done so for many years. Thanks to tech advances she is now able to be more active in MMF and is a valuable part of the Marketing team. A first visit to Malawi is high on her (admittedly rather long) bucket list.
Mariot Dallas is the eldest of Mamie Martin’s granddaughters. She is a retired music teacher. In her busy retirement she works with choirs and helps with her two grandsons who live nearby. Mariot has been an important part of the work of the MMF Board for many years. Taking a break from Trusteeship, she continues to play an important role in the Marketing team.
Peter Kirwan has helped MMF with website management and cyber security for a number of years. He has an MSc in Computer Systems Management with a focus in security training gamification. Originally trained in philosophy and ethics, his interest in moral psychology led to studying unconscious bias at the University of California, Irvine. His day job is about cyber security. He has worked in digital marketing, communication and supporting / protecting technology users.
