When Bernard and Terry Reed’s child was born, they had no idea that a mere two decades later, they would be faced with a huge and very difficult challenge.

Their child was transgender and would suffer appalling abuse at the hands of her co-workers. Dinah Rose KC (pictured in the photo above, right hand side) is the barrister who helped the Reed’s win a landmark sex discrimination case against the company who did nothing to support Niki Reed.

The UK charity GIRES, established in 1997, was borne out of this experience. GIRES has been instrumental in several positive changes to trans rights in the UK.

A Legacy of Kindness (LoK), is a project that has set out to capture the many voices of those involved with GIRES throughout its 25-year history.

Dinah Rose KC, now President of Magdalen College, Oxford, said at interview: “I very much hope if it’s a time capsule that people looking at it will be looking at it from a society that’s more easily able to accommodate and include difference without violence and hate.”

As part of the LGBT+ History Month, GIRES, Schools Out and The Cinema Museum are inviting you to see and hear those voices. After the film, there will be a chance to ask questions of the panel. Join us for this world premier!

After the film, there will be a chance to ask questions of a panel of GIRES stakeholders.

Special guests include Jake & Hannah Graf, “The UK’s most influential LGBT Power Couple” – The Guardian.

A Legacy of Kindness is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Doors open at 18.30, for a 19.30 start.

A finger buffet is available from 6:30 pm. Refreshments will be available in our licensed cafe/bar.
