All of us at Saving Faces are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our Patron Roger Graef OBE.

Roger was a filmmaker, writer, criminologist and theatre director. Along with his company Films of Records, Roger made many award winning films on social issues, current affairs, science and arts. These films promoted change in areas such as youth justice, police handling of rape, urban redevelopment and family problems.

He was awarded a BAFTA Fellowship for lifetime achievement, making him the first documentary maker to do so. In 2006 he was awarded a OBE for services for film-making and broadcasting and in 2013, BAFTA held a tribute evening to celebrate his 50^th year as a filmmaker.

Roger was a long-term, generous and dedicated Patron of Saving Faces, regularly attending events such as our Carols at Christmas concerts and will be greatly missed.

You can find out more about the life and work of Roger in this clip from the Radio 4 programme Last Word.

Thank you to all our supporters and friends – old and new – who attended this year’s Christmas Carols on Wednesday 15th December 2021.

We hope everyone enjoyed the festive evening and the beautiful music provided by the Chelsea Opera Group and their Director, Lindsay Bramley.

We are very grateful to the choir and the staff at the Priory Church of St Bartholomew the Great for hosting the carols at their stunning church.

All of us at Saving Faces are immensely proud that Baroness Helena Kennedy QC has been named in the BBC 100 Women 2021

Baroness Kennedy is a Scottish barrister known for defending the rights of women and minorities and has practised criminal law for 40 years. She is director of the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute, which has recently been assisting women at risk in Afghanistan.

She was principal of Mansfield College at the University of Oxford for several years and was responsible for creating the ground-breaking Bonavero Institute of Human Rights there.

Baroness Kennedy has published various books on the justice system’s impact on women and in 1997 she was made a Labour peer in the House of Lords.

“Our human rights are meaningless unless there are lawyers to argue our cases and independent judges – women as well as men – to try them.” ~ Baroness Helena Kennedy QC
