Hello from all of us here at Veggies HQ.

We are now well settled at our permanent home at Nottingham’s Sumac Centre and are looking forward to many more years of vegan catering, campaigning and fund-raising.

We continue to cater and campaign for a huge range of groups on many diverse issues, thanks to the support of many people who come with us to events or who help behind the scenes at our Nottingham base.

Veggies Food LogoPlease take a look at the events diary.

The events at which we are catering are marked ‘Food by Veggies‘.

Events from many other like-minded groups are also shown for your information and general support. The diary is updated regularly and you can subscribe to an (approximately) weekly email reminder of forthcoming events: subscribe here.

Other Projects

Veggies Directory

For over 20 years we have been a valued networking point for some 7000 contacts, working for animal rights and welfare, as well as those working to protect people worldwide and the environment which we share with them.

Our directory currently being completely recompiled as an interactive web resource, allowing groups to add and update their own listings and facilitating improved networking between those with common interests. It will later again be published in print for those without internet access.

Groups and contacts are invited and encouraged to add their details to Veggies Networking Directory.

You can help by adding details of any other groups that you support.
