An independent selection of new products and resources If you get your walking shoes on, there's just time to organise a sponsored walk in aid of the Meningitis Trust. All over the country nurseries and playgroups are organising their own Toddle Waddles to take place during the Trust's special week from 23 - 29 September. Upon registration you will be provided with a goodie bag of balloons, stickers and sponsorship forms. The Trust is also offering prizes, including a computer and a number of fluffy ducks. Meningitis kills more children and young people in the UK than any other infectious disease and is the number one killer of under-fives. All the proceeds from each Waddle will support research, help raise awareness of the disease and provide support to families who have been affected.

She was told by the firm William Sinclair Horticulture that compost can contain bone meal, dried blood, fish blood and bone and possibly chicken manure, but these are not normally listed in detail. When children are handling the planting medium, practitioners must take care with hand washing. If you are putting out compost for children to play with instead of sand, it is probably best to use either peat or John Innes compost, which should not contain these additives.
