2006 GHA Livigunn Challenge Raises £10,000 for WaterAid
Taking place at Coniston Water in September 2006, the seventh annual GHA Livigunn challenge provided the chance for teams of architects, engineers and contractors to get involved in orienteering, mountain biking, kayaking, yomping, archery and other outdoor pursuits. More importantly, no less than £10,000 was raised for WaterAid.
“Our annual challenge has become something of a landmark event for our customers and colleagues,” commented GHA Livigunn director, Stewart Tennant. “In 2006,” he added, “we had about 75 participants and marshals, with teams including KMI Plus, J. Murphy & Sons, Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering, and Taylor Young and Partners.
“For each GHA Livigunn challenge,” he continued, “we select a worthy cause then invite participants to gain sponsorship prior to embarking on a weekend of lively outward bound activities. Back in early 2004, I had the pleasure of meeting Ruth Strangeway, of Water Aid after the CIWEM Dinner that year; she had been speaking about the valuable work done by the charity. We used our 2004 Yorkshire Dales challenge to raise funds for WaterAid, and have been supporting the charity ever since.”
“I am delighted to announce that as a direct result of our 2006 challenge, a staggering £10,000 was raised to fund WaterAid’s extremely worthwhile activities in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world.”
At the end of the challenge weekend, the Taylor Young team secured first place for their outstanding achievement in each of the trials, whilst Balfour Beatty were recognised for their role in raising the greatest amount of money for WaterAid.
A cheque for the £10,000 raised as a result of the 2006 GHA Livigunn challenge was presented by Stewart Tennant, of GHA Livigunn, to Simon Knight, Chairman of WaterAid NW Region, at The WaterAid Ball, held at the Midland Hotel, Manchester, in October 2006.
