Note that this report is being written in early 2025, due to poor health in early 2024. For this reason, it’s a much briefer summary than our other annual reports.
Activities
- Heather featured on two podcasts: Finding Justice and Meaning in the In Between and Down to Earth Conversations;
- Heather met with members of Woolworths’ sustainable sourcing team to talk about slave free supply chains in their own brand products;
- Just Kai had tables at both the Devonport Ethical Christmas Market and the St John the Baptist Christmas Market in Northcote;
- together with Hagar we ran a Modern Slavery information evening;
- we spoke at Devonport Rotary.
Publications
As well as our regular Christmas and Easter recommendations we published:
a guide to making marshmallow Easter eggs as a group activity - a fun activity that also provides an opportunity to talk about slavery in food;
a morning tea guide - the culmination of an immense amount of research into slave-free options for tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits etc.
- in preparation for this we published new research on drink concentrates and revised our research into coffee.
we published advice on cooking slave-free Thai food at home; we hope this will be useful to anyone cooking seafood-heavy food, not just those cooking Thai food as such.
