Clare hikes up Bredon Hill with Steve Boycott, founder of the Be You Programme, an outdoor鈥慴ased initiative that helps young people build confidence and resilience. Steve explains how his work grew from his own experiences of insecurity, bullying, military service and years spent travelling the world. He reflects on how the outdoors can transform young people, why taking 鈥渙ne more step鈥 can shift a mindset, and his belief that hills can teach us more about ourselves than any classroom. Clare and Steve met at The Queen Elizabeth Pub in Elmley Castle and began their walk from there. Bredon, he says, isn鈥檛 the biggest or the most beautiful hill, but it has soul and a healing quality.
