Daniel Valentine

• Lovey Foundation (UK) was established in 2016 to rescue child-workers from the quarries, farms and forests of rural Ghana and put them into full-time education as “Lovey Scholars”.

• Daniel joined as Chair in March 2023, and has been instrumental in helping the charity expand and reach more children than ever before. In 2023 the charity was in a poor financial position and its future was in doubt due to the impact of lockdown. Daniel showed courage in taking on the charity’s leadership at this time and has restored financial stability and led the charity through two record-breaking years of growth. The number of schools which the charity operates at has had substantial growth over the last two years. Daniel’s initiatives have enabled the charity to rescue a greater number of child-workers than ever before. Daniel’s strong leadership, inclusive approach and dedication to our values make him an outstanding Chair and fully deserving of this award.
