Daniel Cheesman the CEO of Switchboard moves on this week to a new position with a Bristol based charity.
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.”
