As Local Contacts for the Vegan Society we aim to

  • promote The Vegan Society at a local level
  • promote veganism at a local level



As such we:

  • Compile an annual report of vegan campaign activities, (sent to the Contacts’ Coordinator at the Vegan Society)
  • Deal with vegan enquiries or refer them to the Contacts’ Coordinator or to the Vegan Society office as appropriate
  • Promote the Vegan Society (in accordance with any guidelines)
  • Attempt to recruit members for the Society



Other possible areas of activity include:

  • Running or being a member of a local group
  • Arranging social eating events
  • Stalls
  • Library displays
  • Street collections
  • Cookery demonstrations
  • Proactive media work
  • Talks (including showing videos)
  • Sponsored events
  • Publicizing World Vegan Day and National Vegan Week



Many information sheets, leaflets & booklets are available, some of which can be seen on the website and downloaded free. Help welcome and needed in maintaining supplies for Veggies Bookstall at the Sumac Centre and for events elsewhere.


We welcome your help with any of this work.
