Signs on buses

09 September 2009

Signs on buses are the latest addition to the Taranaki Safe Families Collaborative's Billboard Project. The signs are on three buses which all do a school run.

Mobile billboards on buses are a fantastic way to give visibility to the issue of family violence in communities, spokesperson Lee Haskell said.

Last year the Collaborative erected billboards on some of the local school grounds and had advertising showing in the cinemas as part of local initiatives to bring home the message that Family Violence is not OK but It is OK to Ask for Help.
