Doors, wipers, tyres and even a fancy alarm system! The new SAFE campaign van is slowly being put together thanks to the generosity of caring SAFE supporters. A special thanks to SAFE supporters Rachael and Kevin who own AVS Car Security. Rachael contacted SAFE last week to kindly offer a sophisticated alarm system to protect the new van and its contents and even offered to install it all for free! Awesome guys.
NOMINATIONS FOR SAFE BOARD SAFE is calling for nominations for the SAFE Board. SAFE needs nine individuals to provide their knowledge, expertise, guidance and support to help determine the future direction of the organisation.
SAFE STALL BLITZ Christchurch’s awesome team of volunteers held stalls at the recent Body Mind Spirit Festival and the Vegetarian Expo to promote SAFE’s message.
FREE FOOD ON CAMPUS Recently SAFE descended on Canterbury University during their Healthy Lifestyles Week to give away vegetarian food samples and promote a vegetarian lifestyle.

PIG CODE DELAYED
The public outrage and media furore that followed the Mike King exposé of factory pig farming prompted agriculture minister David Carter to announce an urgent review of the code of welfare for pigs, but SAFE campaign director Hans Kriek says this is unlikely.
