Healthy4Hautbois

In order to raise funds towards the proposed development at Great Hautbois House the Healthy4Hautbois challenge was launched. Knowing that all units have difficulty with raising funds, and finding additional money for those necessary extras everyone needs, the Healthy4Hautbois challenge hopes to help this by creating a Region-wide series of challenges for all units, with the added bonus that half the money raised can be kept by the unit for their own needs. All the necessary paperwork is available from the Anglia Office, with details on how to run and administer the events, making life easier for the unit Guiders.

The basic idea behind the three challenges is on improving your health, and raising awareness of healthy lifestyles:

1. Sponsored Aerobics Event - see how long the girls can keep going (being aware of the risks of overdoing things!), with sponsorship for the time achieved.
2. Sponsored Distance Event - this can take any form involving distance (egg and spoon race, hike, line of pennies, ball throw, etc. the ideas are endless!) with sponsorship for distance achieved.
3. Healthy Lifestyle Challenge - looking at ways of making your lifestyle more healthy, from what you eat and wear to what power sources are used. Money can be collected as you go along.

Not only will money be raised towards the Hautbois Development and unit funds, but the challenge will also raise girls' awareness of how they can make their lifestyle more healthy! There is also a badge (shown at the top of the page), available at 60p each, for every girl who completes at least one of the three challenges.
