Every November we celebrate World Vegan Day and World Vegan Month, as well as the formation of The Vegan Society

World Vegan Month Logo

The Vegan Society first began as an offshoot of The Vegetarian Society in November 1944, when Donald Watson, Elsie Shrigley and friends felt the important need to distinguish the difference between not eating meat, and not eating any products from animals. We began celebrating the founding of The Vegan Society in 1994 and every year since, November 1st has been marked as World Vegan Day, with its significance growing to be internationally recognised.

In a natural progression, World Vegan Day evolved into World Vegan Week and now, what we celebrate as World Vegan Month, where vegans and veganism is celebrated in workplaces, shops, restaurants and in homes all over the world.

In 2017, we will be commemorating World Vegan Month with the launch of a brand new app called VNutrition, which has been developed by our in-house dietitian, Heather, and will focus on helping vegans hit their nutritional goals. The app is due to launch in mid-November, so be sure to keep an eye out!

We will also be launching our Vegan on the Go campaign which will encourage retailers to provide vegans with more on-the-go type lunch options, firmly establishing veganism as part of mainstream culture.
