Daniel Magson

First Steps ED

Daniel is open about his own experience with an eating disorder and recovery, talking on podcasts, radio and in corporate training days with ICO and Department of Health. In a short amount of time, he has transformed the culture of the organisation and set a bold, ambitious strategy to increase referrals and tackle stigma through PR, advertising, and Ambassadors.

A passionate advocate for his team, Daniel was the recipient of the Third Sector Fundraisers: New Generation Award in 2017, and continues to celebrate the successes of those around him.

He is deeply committed to championing lived experience across the organisation. He has been instrumental in placing service users at the heart of our work, ensuring their voices shape everything we do.

Truly living his values, Daniel has attended national eating disorder marches and is currently training for a half marathon to raise funds for the charity.

Now with a brand new culture forming at the charity and staff that feels valued and rewarded, under Daniel’s leadership the team can reach more people and build a sustainable charity for the future.
