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.

We also provide our volunteers with leaflets, banners and workshops so that they are equipped to make the biggest impact possible.

Influencing people often starts with introducing concepts and answering questions about living a vegan life. Here are some examples of the work we do through volunteer roles:

Asking high street shops and restaurants to provide more vegan options through our Vegan on the Go campaign.
Lobbying MPs and other policy makers to influence laws that will make it easier to go vegan and stay vegan, through campaigns such as Catering for Everyone.
Educating the public on how inexpensive a vegan diet can be, through our Live Vegan For Less campaign. This is especially important in the cost-of-living crisis. Giving out our mini recipe leaflets is an impactful outreach activity.
Promoting the health benefits of a vegan diet, dispelling the myth that vegans are weak and deficient. Our Vegan and Thriving campaign showcases world record breaking athletes, busy parents and business owners. These inspiring individuals show what can be achieved when you remove animal products from your plate and thrive on a vegan diet.
Don’t take our word for it! Here are some quotes from our wonderful volunteers here at The Vegan Society:

“Everyone is very friendly and appreciative of what I do. It's a great cause to volunteer for.”

“I love sharing ideas with other activists.”

“I enjoy meeting like-minded people and feeling less isolated in my beliefs. I also like learning how to campaign effectively.”

“I’d definitely recommend that any potential volunteers interested give it a go!”

In our Volunteer Impact Report 2023, we also found that 96% of the volunteers surveyed feel highly valued by their main contact.

We're very proud of our campaign work and need your help to promote it further. Do people in your local area know enough about veganism?
