Thinking about eating more veggie meals?

is the perfect opportunity to give it a try. Whether that’s one meal a day, or one day a week, plant-based foods can help support your health, your budget, and your environmental impact.

And it's not about being perfect but finding what works for you. Remember, every veggie choice counts!

Happy 179th birthday to us! 🎂

On 30 September 1847, a small group met at Northwood Villa in Ramsgate and founded the Vegetarian Society. Nearly two centuries later, our work has grown and evolved, but our purpose remains the same: championing vegetarianism and making plant-based choices easier and more inspiring.

Today, that means campaigning for change, helping businesses showcase their vegetarian and plant-based products through the Vegetarian Society Approved Certifications, and teaching people at COOK with the Vegetarian Society how enjoyable and delicious plant-based cooking can be.

To everyone who has been part of our story, from our founders, trustees and members to our supporters, clients, and everyone who has chosen a meat-free meal along the way, thank you.

179 years in. And we’re just getting started. 💚
