Kenneth Allsop Memorial Trust
Simon says "I fell in love with Steep Holm Island whilst making a film about herring gulls there in 1986. I was captivated by the sense of wilderness and isolation on the island despite its position in the Bristol Channel overlooking major cities both in England and Wales.
The wildlife was thrilling too, from the huge gull colony to peregrine falcons and rare bird migrants dropping in, not to mention the muntjac deer! It is a huge honour to have been asked to become the new President of the Kenneth Allsop Memorial Trust and I look forward enormously to revisiting the island and encouraging others to do so".
Simon is President of the Kenneth Allsop Memorial Trust that owns and manages Steep Holm Island in the Bristol Channel.
