Martin Dawkins, a volunteer at Trent Bridge for many years, has sadly passed away after a battle with cancer.

Claire Page, who manages the volunteers when they are at Trent Bridge, said: "The thing I noticed most about him (apart from his height!) was his infectious enthusiasm for helping others.

"He really was the embodiment of going ‘above and beyond’ and going that extra mile to help. Martin had been diagnosed with a brain tumour and despite undergoing treatment that was obviously very tiring, I couldn’t get him to take it easy while volunteering at Trent Bridge!

"When I spoke to him he said his bucket list didn’t include things like travelling the world, he simply wanted to be at Trent Bridge and help."

His funeral is being held at Holy Trinity Church, Wysall on Monday 9th April, 12:45pm.

A memorial page has also been set up in Martin’s memory for messages and donations: https://www.funeralzone.co.uk/obituaries/44219.
