Do you want to take part in vegan volunteering around your local area?

We have an ever-growing Community Network of vegans just like you, who have a passion to volunteer and promote veganism where they live.

Every month, our Network choose from a range of outreach tasks. These could include town centre stalls, writing to a councillor or MP, sharing our campaigns on social media or contacting local businesses. You're in control of how much or how little you do.
As an Organiser, you would be the caretaker of your local area. Tasks would be emailed to you directly every month by our Volunteering Coordinator. It would then be your job to send out the task to Advocates in your local area. You'll also be able to ask your Advocates for help with any stalls and lobbying. Every Organiser receives an outreach pack, including a table runner, leaflets and banners.

· Great organisational skills

Training details

There will be a full induction to the role, with a gradual introduction of new tasks and responsibilities. To start with, we will provide an initial training session to cover the basics of community organising, communication skills and event planning. This will be done remotely from wherever you are. Along with this, we will provide a full pack of resources that covers a range of work that we do.

From there, there will be regular conversations and reviews, where we can discuss other training requirements. Staff are always available to Organisers for any questions, via phone or email.
