Several key clients of Hill McGlynn recently joined Stephen Hill and Steven Ware
on the high seas to help raise £30,000 for The Outward Bound Trust of which Hill
McGlynn is a Patrons Company.
The Outward Bound Trust provides young people, who for financial reasons, would
never have the opportunity, to take part in courses which teach teamwork and leadership
skills together with encouraging self confidence and helping youngsters tackle difficult
challenges.
The Outward Bound Duke of York Diamond Cup Regatta was held on the waters of the
Solent between ten 36ft yachts and was concluded with a dinner with HRH Duke of
York in Cowes.
The success on the high seas followed the presentation the previous month of two
Duke of Edinburgh Silver Awards for Lisa Curry and Ben Hinks who were part of one
of the first groups to attend The Outward Bound course sponsored by Hill McGlynn
three years ago.
Stephen Hill believes that courses such as The Outward Bound provide a platform
for young people in helping define what they want to achieve in life. Hill says;
"The success of Lisa and Ben highlights the way in which Outward Bound helps young
people strive to reach their own personal goals. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Silver
Award is a significant achievement and also shows potential employers of the individuals
determination and tenacity to succeed."
