Daniel Cheesman

**DANIEL a former** Director of Brighton Hove and District Samaritans, arrived at Switchboard two years ago, at a difficult time in their history and is credited with turning the organisation round and putting it on a sound footing for the future.

**Daniel said:** *“It has been a huge privilege to lead Switchboard over the last two years and I am really proud of the work of the team and all that we do to support LGBTQ individuals and communities in Brighton and Hove.*

*“I remember calling the Switchboard helpline in my late twenties as I struggled to come to terms with my sexuality, never did I think that one day I would be leading the organisation. Led it I have though and now as I reflect on the last two years I am proud of all that has been achieved and I am pleased to be leaving the charity in a strong place, with a clear strategy, refreshed brand and projects that reflect the needs of our communities.*

*“I have also been so fortunate to have been surrounded by a truly talented and passionate team who all do aeverything they can to improve the lives of LGBTQ people living in our City. I would like to thank the Switchboard staff team, the Switchboard Trustees and Switchboard volunteers – they all play an important part in the running of the charity and simply without them we couldn’t do what we do.*

*“Next year Switchboard celebrates 45 years of service and we have some exciting things planned to mark the occasion. I now pass the Switchboard CEO baton onto Lyndsay Macadam, who I know will be fantastic – I’ll be back for the 45th Birthday party!”*

**A spokesperson for Switchboard said:** *“We wish Daniel all the very best as he relocates to Bristol and takes on his new CEO appointment at a Bristol based charity.”*
