Do you want to take part in vegan volunteering around your local area?
The key focus of the Vegan Society is to raise the profile of veganism and each year the Vegan Society help more and
more people to go vegan and stay vegan.
Our network of committed local vegans across the country is growing! The Vegan Society organises various outreach
activities to influence change in every level of society. There are a range of activities going on all the time, from
general educational stalls at events to meetings with local policy influencers.
Advocates are a crucial voice in their own community. They ensure that our campaign messages are spread far and
wide. They provide a strong vegan presence in local communities.
