Looking for Healthy Fundraising Ideas?

Traditional fundraising activities include chocolate drives, lamington drives, cake stalls, sausage sizzles and money raised from vending machines.

While fundraising is often a crucial means of providing additional finances, most of these activities do not promote health or support healthy eating, and are not in the best health interests of students, families or the community.

To help bring about important changes to your fundraising activities, Nutrition Australia has done the hard work for you.

Check out our new publication to get you started.
