The Vegan Society
Area: Allerdale, Barrow, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden, South Lakes
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
The Vegan Society's mission is to make veganism mainstream.
We're working tirelessly to make veganism an easily-adopted and widely-recognised approach to reducing animal suffering and environmental damage. We do so through peaceful and factual dialogue with individuals, organisations and businesses.
We achieve this vision and mission by providing information, supporting and advising individuals and health professionals, caterers, manufacturers, and influencing policy makers. We also fund vegan initiatives set up by members and supporters, and work with volunteers and partners towards making our vision a reality. We work with the media to help reinforce a positive view of veganism and to help a larger audience see that veganism is a rewarding, enjoyable and viable lifestyle.
List of activities and/or services provided by your organisation:
1. Publicising the philosophical reasons for being vegan. People are most likely to stay committed to veganism if they believe it is wrong to exploit other animals because, like humans, they have value in their own right.
2. Promoting the benefits of the vegan lifestyle by:
Encouraging more people to adopt it and making it easy for people to follow it
Advancing the development and use of vegan alternatives to all commodities derived from animals
Promoting knowledge of sound nutrition and interest in veganism as a complete and healthy diet
Promoting vegan agricultural methods as a means of both safeguarding global food supply and avoiding environmental damage
Campaigning for the legal recognition of veganism as a protected belief within legislation
Driving to achieve policy change socially (citizens playing a key role) and through practice (consumers influencing the marketplace).
