Christmas is here and we are excited to get cosy and indulge in delicious plant-based treats all month long. We’ve been as busy as ever trying to make the world a more vegan place.
Come and inspire people!
A major part of Viva!’s work is getting out on the streets and speaking to people about veganism. In the run-up to Christmas, we’ll be informing people about how a vegan Christmas is the only one that will truly bring peace to the world, save animals’ lives and in turn help the planet. We’re asking our amazing activists across the country to host stalls in their hometowns. All our stalls will be Christmas-themed and, alongside footage from undercover investigations, we will have leaflets, health guides, practical ideas of how to transition to a vegan way of life and free mince pies! Help us save more animals this season by organising a stall yourself, joining one of our events
