My son loved every minute of being a Steam Explorer. Under Richard’s expert and supportive guidance, he discovered a passion for engineering that has greatly boosted his confidence. He has now found his spark at the museum, thriving in an environment where he can get hands-on with the engines doing something he is truly proud of. His enthusiasm has grown so much that he is now a regular volunteer, eager to deepen his knowledge and continue to get his hands dirty! The experience has been life-changing, giving him a renewed sense of purpose and direction.
