Welcome!
The Martyn Donaldson Music Trust was set up in memory of Martyn, who died tragically on 17th September 2002.
Martyn was an active and accomplished musician, an extrovert with a wicked sense of humour and a gentle and sensitive young man, much loved by his wide circle of friends.
The Trust was set up by his family and friends to celebrate Martyn’s life and provide a lasting legacy to his achievements, dreams and ambitions.
What we do
MDMT supports music-making for young people in Kenya, the UK and in Martyn’s home town of Macclesfield. We recruit and sponsor volunteer music teachers for placements in Nairobi as well as providing financial support to charities and organisations in Kenya and the UK.
