At V for Life (VfL), we envision a UK where older vegans and vegetarians (veg*ns) can thrive and live in dignity. Can you help promote our charity?
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! The role involves offering only occasional support to the charity and is usually of interest to vegan or vegetarian people who wish to help us to support older vegans and vegetarians to live well in their later years. This could mean anything from helping out at a stall at a vegan festival, supporting our chefs at cooking demos, contacting care homes in your local area to see if they are a member of our UK List which means that they have pledged to cater well for any veggie or vegan residents they may have. It's varied but ad hoc.
Become a champion for older vegans and vegetarians and take V for Life Challenge!
Want to make a real difference for older vegans and vegetarians? Join the V for Life Challenge – a simple yet powerful way to advocate for better support, choices, and respect for those in later life who choose a compassionate diet. By completing five key actions, you’ll earn recognition as a V for Life Champion – a leader in creating change for older veg*ns in your community. This is an additional optional challenge for Friends who wish to become more involved, and are in a position to complete the 5 steps.
Your 5 steps to becoming a V for Life Champion
✅ Join our Friends Facebook Group – Once you have applied to be a volunteer, stay connected with like-minded advocates and share your progress. Search for “Friends of V for Life-a private group for all registered VfL volunteers” and we will add you to the group.
✅ Introduce yourself to your local library – Help spread awareness by ensuring they display resources to support older veg*ns.
✅ Put up display materials – Place posters or leaflets in key locations to help spread the word.
✅ Reach out to a local veg*n group, MP, and care home – Start conversations and advocate for more inclusive food options.
✅Celebrate and share – Let us know once you’ve completed your steps, and we’ll recognise you as an official V for Life Champion!
If this sounds like you, send a message and we will send you an application form.
