Supported by the Vegan Society
If you don’t need support at the present time, perhaps you could spare a little time to help someone who does? Friends of V for Life are vegan or vegetarian people who work voluntarily to help raise awareness of the charity and its work. You can really help us to make a difference to someone’s life!
