Autumn 2026 edition of Vegetarian for Life’s electronic magazine.

Who it’s for

This publication is aimed at older vegans and vegetarians and those who cater for them.

Extract

In this issue we celebrate our volunteers’ hard work to improve the lives of older vegans and vegetarians through our Friends’ Challenge. We welcome three V for Life Friends onto our Wall of Champions we hope their stories will inspire you to join them.

We also report on our work with UK care home regulators to ensure their standards recognise the philosophical and ethical choices of older veg*ns.  The issue also covers the case of a care home resident in Scotland whose ethical commitment to a meat-free diet was ignored by those responsible for her wellbeing. 
 

Care home chefs can build their confidence with our online Meatfree 101 training course, tailored to fit around their busy working lives.  And our own busy chefs share a recipe they have been raving about – chunky clam chowder . Just the thing as we ease into autumn. 

We also share a recipe for a warming sausage and gnocchi bake; both recipes feature in our One-pot meals recipe collection – it’s free to download, and contains plenty of ideas for tasty vegan meals.
