In this issue we highlight improvements in caring for vegans and vegetarians (veg*ns) in the care sector. For many, diet is a decades–long commitment and an important part of identity. Recently, inspectors placed a care home into special measures after discovering that a veg*n resident had been served meat. We look at the implications and stress the importance of care homes listening to, and catering properly for, their veg*n residents.

We’re also keen to host more lunch and dinner clubs to bring older veg*ns together to share experiences, make friends and enjoy good food. This issue includes recipes from our Lunch club catering guide to help you host your own – download it free from our website.

Our expert chefs will be running online autumn masterclasses in vegan cookery – a great chance to learn directly from professionals.

And we hear from long-term veg*n Rory, who shares her journey of going vegan a couple of years ago – perhaps her story will strike a chord with you.

I hope that you enjoy the issue.
