Meet the Trustees

The team at Pathfinders is made up of, and led by, people from the communities we represent, including our trustees. There are lots of opportunities to become a part of the team at Pathfinders, including jobs, freelance opportunities, and volunteering.

We are currently recruiting for trustees – if you are interested in applying, please contact Sarah, our Chairs of Trustees or use our contact form.

Image Description: A smiling, joyful Sulaiman (wholeheartedly Disabled AF, British-Pakistani man with buzz cut black hair), sits in his power wheelchair for a portrait by the Brand By Me team. Sulaiman wears his rainbow-coloured mesh jacket over a black shirt with bright pink flamingos. He wears a yellow and black badge that says "Black Disabled Lives Matter" via his dear friend Jennifer White-Johnson. As well as a pure silver chain pendant from his late Nanaji (maternal grandfather). It was made for Sulaiman over 23 years ago, when he was 15, and was rediscovered early this year. The pendant says "Raja Sulaiman" in Urdu, which his Nanaji called him. Sulaiman wears this pendant to remember and honour his late Nanaji, ancestors, and descendants. Sulaiman understands (and respects) that he is the link from his ancestors to his descendants. End.

Daniel Baker

Daniel has been a member of a few charities over the years and helped out in various ways. He has also been a trustee of two charities, DROP, a local charity focused on both physical and mental health conditions. He was trustee, and co-chair of DMD Pathfinders, for several years, but after the charity had expanded and become Pathfinders Neuromuscular Alliance he stood down and took a break for a while to recharge. Daniel has always been passionate about speaking up for others with disabilities and showing that we can live fulfilling lives, being interviewed various times over the years or writing articles and even appeared briefly in the BBC/Netflix drama Requiem.

Daniel says: “I am now happy to have returned to Pathfinders Neuromuscular Alliance as a trustee and am looking forward to helping shape the future of the charity”.
