Danny has worked in the voluntary sector since he was knee high. Growing up on the grounds of a Leonard Cheshire Home for people with physical disabilities he was surrounded by an environment of equality, empowerment and dedication to genuine human dignity. Since these formative years he was worked in the faith-based sector, in learning disabilities and in youth work. As CEO of a national Catholic youth charity for five years, Danny developed his role as a fundraiser and strategic manager, moving on to work as a facilitator, coach and an advisor to other organisations helping to develop their capacity to support more people.
For five years up to March 2017, Danny was part-time Executive Director of Books Beyond Words, a fast growing social enterprise providing resources and training to empower people with learning disabilities. He is Co-founder and former CEO of the Catholic charity Million Minutes, a youth action and advocacy organisation, offering new means to enable young people to transform their world. He is also author of several youth resources and is a trustee of the Association of Chairs.
Danny now works with many charities in community work, UK poverty, youth social exclusion, faith based work and international development, providing facilitation and drawing on his wide experience to support their strategic and governance needs.
