About this opportunity: | Do you want to take part in vegan volunteering around your local area?

Our network of committed local vegans across the country is growing! The Vegan Society organises various outreach activities to influence change in every level of society. There are a range of activities going on all the time, from general educational stalls at events to meetings with local policy influencers. Advocates are a crucial voice in their own community. They ensure that our campaign messages are spread far and wide. They provide a strong vegan presence in local communities. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
