The Vegetarian Society’s National Vegetarian Week 2015, sponsored by Nothing But, is taking place from 18-24 May, and this year focuses on sharing and enjoying veggie food with friends, family and the community.
The society is making it easy to get involved. Free National Vegetarian Week promotional material is available and there is a downloadable toolkit with information and advice about setting up your own event. You can even apply for grants to help with your event.
In addition, there is a What’s Happening calendar to ensure you keep up with what’s taking place across the UK – and you can enter details of your own event.
This year The Vegetarian Society is visiting seven cities across the UK and will be handing out free veggie pizza slices in a celebration of how food can bring people together. A list of cities and venues can be found on the society’s website.
“We wanted to get out and share delicious veggie food with as many people as possible during the week,” said The Vegetarian Society’s chief executive, Lynne Elliot. “Recent studies have shown that around 20% of the population are choosing to eat more meat-free meals so this is great way for us to show how tasty vegetarian food can be – and what better to share than pizza!”
