My Father, Simon Stephens, was personally awarded his Gold DoE award by the Duke of Edinburgh himself. My father then continued with the program to become a trip leader for the DoE awards. My Father is someone who inspires me to always push my boundaries and comfort zones. He always talk about his 'DoE days' with such love and found memories.

It changed his life and led him into the job he has continued to be in for the last 48 years! Ship Model Curator at the National Maritime Museum.
