Member Kim Henshaw got quite a surprise when she was notified by her school that they were considering a ban on edible birthday treats. In this week's blog, Kim tells us the reasons why she felt the school should reconsider.

Have you noticed ' confectionery creep'? Last week's blog railed against the use of confectionery for fundraising in child care centres.This week, Margo Saunders questions the rapidly growing and (we believe) dubious practice of community pharmacies positioning sweets and chocolates at children's eye level. Aren't pharmacies supposed to promote good health and wellbeing?

The author of this week's blog would prefer to remain anonymous but she is angry about the level of confectionery available at her child care centre - not only through funraising events but also for sale at the front desk! Does this story where she bravely confronts the Manager and gets a very unexpected reply resonate with you? Do you think fundraising through confectionery has any place in child care centres, schools or sporting clubs?
