The Board of Trustees has announced that Dan Rickman will be stepping down from his role as CEO of ORT UK.

Since joining ORT UK, Dan has played a pivotal role in transforming the organisation from a purely fundraising body into a fully operational charity.

Under his leadership, ORT UK has developed a portfolio of five employability skills programmes, now reaching over 1,000 students annually.

The Board would like to extend its sincere thanks to Dan for his leadership, vision, and dedication. His commitment has laid a strong foundation for ORT UK’s continued growth and impact.

ORT UK remains focused on expanding its local programmes and continuing its vital fundraising efforts for World ORT.

Dan says:

“It’s been an absolute privilege to work for ORT UK. I’ve been fortunate to witness first-hand the powerful impact our fundraising has on World ORT projects around the globe. I’m particularly proud of how our community responded to the crisis in Ukraine and, more recently, in Israel – showing just how deeply our supporters care. Our employability programmes have grown significantly, and having the opportunity to help launch and shape them is something I’ll always be grateful for. I’m excited to watch ORT UK’s next chapter unfold. Finally, I want to thank the incredible staff team. It has truly been an honour to work alongside such passionate and inspiring individuals.”
