Before joining Community Stewardship Solutions, Danielle held a range of senior operational and management roles with organisations including Catch22, Single Homeless Project (SHP), Tomorrow’s People, and the Metropolitan Police Service. Most recently, she served as Operations Manager for Catch22, leading multidisciplinary teams delivering the Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit Social Switch programme, focused on supporting young people affected by serious youth violence into positive education, training, and employment pathways.

Earlier in her career, Danielle spent seven years as a Police Community Support Officer with the Metropolitan Police, working closely with residents, schools, and community groups to improve safety and strengthen local neighbourhoods.

 

Passionate about creating inclusive, resilient communities, Danielle is particularly interested in community engagement, partnership working, safeguarding, and supporting organisations to deliver meaningful social impact.
