Who David Walker is

David Walker is Chief Executive of Bromley Third Sector Enterprise (BTSE), a charity that brings together local third sector organisations to provide joined-up health and wellbeing services in the London Borough of Bromley. He joined BTSE in December 2021, succeeding Toni Walsh, who had retired.

Before that he had worked at senior level in the charitable and public sectors, in national programme and operational delivery, public affairs and communications roles. BTSE has managed the contract for the Bromley Well service since 2017. BTSE is a Carers Trust Network Partner, and Walker has spoken publicly about support for unpaid carers.

He has also spoken about the council's 'digital first' approach to adult services, and about local help during the cost of living crisis.

“Very often, those people don't realise that they get that support”
CEO of Bromley Third Sector Enterprise · Unpaid carers · bbc.co.uk · 17 Jan 2026 · Read the article
“Very often what we see is the number of carers who do not realise they're a carer, who think 'I'm looking after my partner, I'm looking after my child'... Actually saying [to them] you are a carer and you're entitled to support, and actually making sure that those who are professionals in the system were made more carer aware [is vital], because that makes a difference.”
