Welcome to our Events page. Bute Island Foods invites you to email us details and pictures of your
events where Sheese is sampled or used, or why not send us your favourite recipes using
Sheese. If you have a Sheese and wine party, send us some pictures and your reviews.
Or simply send a picture of yourself in your hometown or in front of a famous landmark
holding your favourite Sheese! and tell us a few words about yourself and where you buy Sheese.
I would like to thank you for the samples you sent for the Indoor Picnic - we made loads of
sandwiches using the Sheese. We made Sheese and tomato, Sheese and pickle, Sheese and
salad sandwiches. With the Creamy Sheeses we put them on crackers, and everyone really enjoyed
it.
In fact the feed back was very positive and everyone absolutely loved
the Creamy Sheeses!
Thank you once more for your support for the event.

Hi guys, I just wanted to thank you for your participation in Vegovision 2010! The fair had 500 visitors and there was a
very positive atmosphere. We were extremely satisfied with how the event went, and being able to sample your products
was one of the high points of the fair. From our evaluations we have seen that what the visitors wanted the most at
future fairs, was to be able to purchase more products to take home with them. In the spring of 2011 we plan to have
an even bigger and
better fair and would love to have your company exhibit again.
Once again, thank you for your participation.
Jennifer Gosser-Duncan, Vegovision 2010.

Hi Guys
I just wanted to say thank you for the samples you sent to promote at
our food fair.
Despite it being a miserable day, the event was a great success and we
estimate we had about 250 people
come through the door. As usual, your products were a huge success. People who hadn't tried it before were
very impressed and we had numerous requests for where the products could be purchased locally.
One of the places we directed them to was "Rosemarys" which is an independent health food shop in
Wolverhampton. We also urged people to ask the shops they use to stock it. The Mexican style spread
proved the biggest
hit as always although the hard cheddar style seemed to go down well
with the kids.
Once again, thank you for your support.
Tony, for and on behalf of Wolverhampton Vegans and Vegetarians.

A big thank you
to Sheese for kindly donating samples of your delicious

Sheese was a big hit with the public visiting the stall and there were
lots of enquiries as to where Sheese could be purchased.
Southend Animal Aid is one of the oldest charitable, friendly animal welfare groups in the Southend area - set up by local
committed volunteers concerned with all areas of animal abuse. We aim to increase awareness, provide help & information,

Animal Aid, RSPCA, Shac, Viva!, Peta, BUAV, LACS, and The Vegan Society.

contact us for more information. We are currently trying to recruit new members and would love to hear from other like-minded people.
Please telephone 07092 001851 or email southendanimalaid@hotmail.com
The day itself was a great success with a few hundred people through the doors and all the food going just before the end.
In particular we received comments about how tasty the samples of vegan chocolate were, how pleased people were
to find delicious products that were new to them such as 'Nakd' bars and how much they enjoyed vegan cheese!
All the other products we were giving away went, including all the dulse and fruit purees. Our favourite story from the
fayre is when one of our volunteers talked to a little girl who was about seven who came with her mum and she related how
great the fayre had been for her. She had told her mum she wanted to be a vegetarian only about a week before the event.
When her mum saw the fayre advertised she said "we'll go to this event and if you like the food then we'll think about it".
Both of them loved the food, and the girl particularly liked the homemade falafel, and took lots of recipes.
Her mum then told her she was happy for her to become a vegetarian now!

About the Hope Pastures Charity - www.hopepastures.org
The Charity was registered in 1974 and the aim was to rescue horses, ponies & donkeys that were being abused.
In April 2004 the Trust was taken over by new trustees whose aims are to Rescue, Rehabilitate and Re-home wherever
possible. Although some residents may be old and some not in the best of health, they are all cared for and loved and can
spend their days in a safe environment away from the often harsh and brutal treatment of their former years.
As well as rescuing horses, Hope Pastures hopes to provide an environment where young people can learn
directly about caring for horses in a natural setting, this interaction helps educate young people about animal welfare
and social responsibility. Whether by visiting our web site or directly meeting the animals at our sanctuary,
we hope to foster an environment where learning and understanding can take place. It is our hope that in doing this,
we will help nurture a generation that values the natural world around us and seeks to protect the
environment and the animals we share this planet with.
Below is a couple of pictures of a recent fundraising event, where £125 was raised for the sanctuary.
Paws For a Party will be held at the Whitworth Art gallery on Saturday the 7th of November, details below.
* "Paws for a Party" - an ethical and animal-free gala evening in aid of the RSPCA Manchester & Salford Branch.
* The night includes a vegan wine reception, 3 course vegan meal and live entertainment throughout the night as
well as stalls from leading animal welfare organizations.
* Tickets cost £25, with early bird 10% discount on full table bookings before 30th Sept.
* This is a chance for like-minded people to enjoy a truly cruelty-free evening.
* To book please contact Susie on 0161 882 0680 or email rspcamcr_salford@btconnect.com
Thank you all so very much for your support with our venture - we'll convert the world one day, won't we?!

Many thanks to everyone who helped make the above a great success. An amazing £220.60 was collected. Viva! are receiving
£60 for raffle tickets plus £50.30 from the stall donations. Animal Aid are receiving £50 from the sale of 50 purple poppies plus
£60.30 from stall donations. The main aim however was, by example and information, to influence people to live a healthier
& more sustainable life. This I am confident we achieved. For example one lady, who had originally declined to sign the
foie-gras petition, on reading the literature was appalled & changed her mind. A number of other visitors said they would
become vegetarian or vegan after tasting various products.
Among the companies that contributed and that we would like to thank were: Bute Island Foods.
Their range of vegan Sheeses were very popular & people couldn’t tell the difference between them & ‘ordinary’ cheese!
In Friendship, Bill Palethorpe - Eastbourne Veggie Group.
Hi Bute Island, I’m writing on behalf of MVC to say a massive thank you for your company’s support of our organization
and our most recent vegan food give-a-way in Birmingham city centre. We had a brilliant day and it was one of our most
successful events yet – from 11 o’clock onward the lovely public enjoyed the best of vegan ice cream, meat-free meats,
sushi, dairy-free cheeses and assorted goodies. Even with six of us and 4 x 4ft tables we were still swamped, and it was
a brilliant sight to behold. People were genuinely thrilled to taste something new, explore new foods and many
wanted to know where to get such goodies – we were, of course, only too happy to oblige them and sincerely hope
we’ve found you some new ethically-conscious customers. Our events are all about showing people that vegan
food has never tasted better, and we are hugely grateful for your help in our quest. We couldn’t have done it alone!
Here’s to great-tasting vegan food, and events to come. We’d love to work with you again in the future,
please do keep in touch! Kind regards, Alex www.veganmidlands.org.uk

Bute Island Foods were recently one of the sponsors of a team from the Extreme Vegan Sporting Association who climbed the
famous Three Peaks challenge, and in doing so raised £1,900 for Animals Count a UK political party for people and animals.
This is another great example that a Vegan diet can be both exciting & very healthy.
Many thanks to the Vegan Vixens who recently did a photo shoot wearing our Sheese T-Shirts! They are doing
a great job promoting a healthy and fun lifestyle. Kimmy and the Vegan Vixens said "we feel sexy when we eat Sheese"
