Get Some Satisfaction at Safeway
Safeway proudly sponsors this year's
National Vegetarian Week
May 19-25


The Vegetarian Society is pleased to announce that Safeway, the UK's fourth largest supermarket, will proudly sponsor this year's National Vegetarian Week.

As the supermarket sponsors for this important event in the culinary calendar, Safeway will not only host the launch event for the week, but will also give shoppers some real satisfaction when it comes to meat-free food with its brand new Vegetarian Range, featuring foods from all over the world. Look out for in-store vegetarian promotions as well as information about how to get involved in The Vegetarian Society's seven-day veggie challenge.

This exciting new partnership with Safeway looks set to be as satisfying as the recipes that feature in the free 'Seven Days of Satisfaction' booklet from The Vegetarian Society. To request your copy simply pick up a leaflet in your local Safeway store or contact The Vegetarian Society on 0161 925 2000.
