Sharing Time to Make a Difference


Martin Faulkner tells why nearly 50 years on he can’t resist regularly coming back to campus


Walking through Alexandra Square at the heart of campus, Martin Faulkner is regularly greeted on all sides by ‘hellos’ from the many who know him as an enthusiastic organiser of alumni events, but few of them suspect that the bow-tied retired teacher and youth worker was once a stalwart of demonstrations and occupations of the Senate during his time there in the 1970s.


It does not take long chatting to the softly spoken Brighton-based alumni event volunteer to discover that he still considers himself an activist in terms of his faith and politics - although perhaps not the Christian Marxist he was then. He places the responsibility with Lancaster for giving him the freedom and confidence to develop the fire in his belly.
