The Vegan Society was founded in November 1944, determined as ever to promote vegan lifestyles for the benefit of animals, people and the environment.
Right now they are recruiting Volunteer Advocates! Being an Advocate for veganism with The Vegan Society will mean communicating with people in the local community. You will form part of a local group, headed up by a local Organiser where you’ll attend events and share the benefits of a vegan lifestyle.
Activities can range from staffing a stall to giving a talk at an employee event. It could also mean writing to a local newspaper or lobbying an MP. Advocates must be confident in communicating with people from a range of backgrounds, any experience in talking with members of the public through customer/public service would be helpful!
