    Last week the White Elephant crew all headed down to the University of Canterbury for the inaugural UC Community Engagement Awards. Both our Chairperson Anthony Rohan and our Trust Manager Nathan Durkin received GOLD awards for their integral involvement in the leadership of the Student Volunteer Army after the February Christchurch Earthquakes.

    Attending the ceremony were key players in the Christchurch Rebuild including Roger Sutton, Hon Gerry Brownlee, Mayor Bob Parker and Rt Hon John Key. So naturally we took advantage of the photo opp!
