WHAT DO YOU DO?



We offer expert advice on nutritional issues and provide free information to individuals, companies and organisations.



We keep vegetarianism in the news and feed the real facts to the press.



We give talks and presentations to schools, colleges and community groups.



We distribute teacher and student packs to ensure that vegetarianism is well represented in the Food Technology curriculum.



We teach ordinary people how to cook extraordinary veggie food and show professional chefs how exciting vegetarian food can be.



We set standards for what is truly vegetarian, then challenge perceptions with National Vegetarian Week.



We work behind the scenes with the food industry to improve provision; persuading food manufacturers and retailers to use free range eggs, to take the gelatine out of their yoghurts or to cook their veggie burgers separately from their meat.
