Healthy events and fundraising for schools 

There is good evidence to show that exposure to adult drinking in childhood increases the risk of hazardous drinking by teenagers. The Hawke’s Bay District Health Board is committed to leadership in reducing alcohol related harm in our community, and believes that alcohol and schools do not mix. We have developed a Healthy Events and Fundraising guide for schools, providing lots of creative ideas for fundraising and events that don’t involve alcohol. You can find out more about alcohol and schools here.
