Here are some quotes from our wonderful volunteers here at The Vegan Society: “Everyone is very friendly and appreciative of what I do. It's a great cause to volunteer for.” “I love sharing ideas with other activists.” “I enjoy meeting like-minded people and feeling less isolated in my beliefs. I also like learning how to campaign effectively.” “I’d definitely recommend that any potential volunteers interested give it a go!” In our Volunteer Impact Report 2023, we also found that 96% of the volunteers surveyed feel highly valued by their main contact.

For Advocates, we ask for people to engage in a minimum of four to six actions per year. An example of an action could be writing to an MP or holding a stall. But the more you can do, the better! On occasion, there may also be online meetings to plan for actions or provide training.
