Roy Ackerman - Trustee

Roy is Creative Director at Films of Record. An innovative and acclaimed TV producer who was proud to make Ballet Changed My Life which showcased the work of Grit, then Youth at Risk, working with 150 excluded young people in the midlands. He’s specialised in high profile documentaries, some chronicling social issues and/or celebrating the achievements of people under pressure.

“I have worked with Grit for nearly 30 years now because of the charity’s commitment to young people. The work challenges them to rise above what they might see as impossible obstacles. It is always fearless and done with utter integrity, which is why I will always continue to support Grit in any way I can.”
