Dan Skipper is Director of Healthy Ageing Norfolk, a unique voluntary sector partnership working to reduce frailty and falls. This is a shared role working across Age UK Norwich and Norfolk Citizens Advice, a strategic partnership aimed at tackling one of Norfolk’s biggest long-term challenges - an ageing population with rising levels of frailty and poor health.

Dan was previously the Chief Executive Officer of Age UK Norwich, leading the charity since 2015. Dan is a qualified programme and project manager, and a member of the APM, the chartered body for the project profession. Prior to Age UK Norwich, Dan held a wide variety of senior positions within the financial services and education sectors, ranging from product development, marketing, regulatory compliance to customer insights and behaviours.
