Nottingham Vegetarians and Vegans
As local contacts for the Vegan Society, the Vegetarian Society of the UK, the Movement for Compassionate Living, Animal Aid and the educational / campaigning group Viva!, Veggies Catering Campaign co-ordinates a network of vegetarian and vegan projects in Nottingham.
Veggies Catering Campaign
Veggies provides catering at many local (and national) events and can provide vegan buffets for all events from meeting and gatherings to birthdays and weddings.
Members of Veggies, and others, provide speakers for talks at schools etc, run info stalls at local and national events and support days of action called from time to time.
Recipe & information leaflets and books are available from Veggies at the Sumac Centre, where we are based. Contact us for a printed catalogue, or to request delivery at an event (see diary below).
Members, supporters and friends often get together for a meal, or to run vegan free food give-away stalls, during the lead up to Christmas, during National Vegetarian Week (in June) and on World Vegan Day (November 1st).
For details of events specifically attended by Veggies see Veggies Events Diary.
Notts Veg
NottsVeg is a Nottingham-based group for vegans and vegetarians which focuses on social events, restaurant meals, drinks, walks, film nights, pot-luck suppers and other social gatherings, and outings to veggie-related happenings and venues.
It is hoped the group will act as another link in the chain knitting together the vegan/vegetarian community in Nottingham and surrounding areas and also as a useful port of call for veggies who are new to Nottingham or new to, or thinking of taking up, the vegetarian or vegan lifestyle.

Sumac Centre
The Sumac Centre provides resources for many local groups and individuals, campaigning for human and animal rights, on environmental issues and for peace, co-operation and social justice worldwide, issues that we believe can benefit from the adoption of veg(etari)an diets .

Notes
Green Catering in the Heart of Nottingham "Every week we’re treated to a variety of vegan and veggie hot meals which are far removed from the limp sandwiches and cold quiche that’s served at so many other training events. I only recently discovered that the people behind this great food is a social business called St Ann’s Catering and Conference Service and not only can they cook they have many green credentials too!" ... found at http://greengirlsglobal.com/blog/index.php?s=vegan, with reference to the community cafe at the Chase Neighbourhood Centre.
