Who was Michael Varah
Michael devoted over 35 years to the criminal justice system. When he resigned as Chief Probation Officer of Surrey in 2004, he was the UK’s longest serving Chief Officer in the (then) National Probation Service.
A man of compassion, integrity and humour, he was respected for his inspirational and nonconformist leadership and his pioneering work in the charitable sector. He founded two charities, The MayDay Trust and Surrey Springboard, and at the time of his death was a national Trustee of Samaritans and Victim Support.
