Freedom Charity and the Trustees

Daniel, now well into ‘retirement’, has a 35-year background in BBC broadcast engineering and 18 years as a Magistrate in East London adult and youth criminal courts where he worked alongside Aneeta Prem, founder of Freedom Charity. In August 2019, Aneeta persuaded him to support Freedom Charity by taking the chair at meetings and helping to instate a Board of Trustees. Daniel also serves on the Trustee Boards of British Wireless for the Blind Fund and WaveLength Charity both of which he first joined in the early 90s and now chairs. He is also a seasonal guide in open air learning with Lee Valley Regional Park Youth and Schools and supports the Friends of Suntrap – an Epping Forest field study centre. For the past six decades he has provided music for services at his local Church. He is pleased to be part of an effective organisation which reaches people of all backgrounds, at all times, anywhere – educating, rescuing and guiding towards freedom to develop, freedom of choice and freedom from coercion and abuse.
