Dan joined abandofbrothers in 2008 and was influential in initiating the first ‘Quest’ for young men. With over 10 years experience of frontline youth work, primarily within the Youth Justice and Leaving Care sectors in London and Sussex, Dan continues to play a key role in the growth and development of the Charity.

Time and again, he has witnessed how unresolved trauma and pain ends up manifesting as destructive behaviour. He believes that to break the cycle of offending and violence, young men need to feel part of a supportive community that instills a sense of belonging, accountability, and personal responsibility.

As someone who’s passionate about creating safer, more inclusive communities, Dan sees abandofbrothers as the ideal grass-roots movement for creating positive, sustainable change.
