Change of CEO at
Community First Yorkshire
28 September 2026
The leadership at Community First Yorkshire will change from next month when the current chief executive retires.
Jane Colthup will step down from her CEO position on Thursday 8 October, and will be replaced by Dena Dalton, who currently serves as the charity’s deputy chief executive.
Dena was appointed to the CEO role by the Community First Yorkshire’s Board of Trustees earlier this year.
Although Jane is retiring, she will still be an active force within the Network, having been co-opted to the ACRE’s Board of Trustees as Vice Chair.
