How anyone can get involved in National Vegetarian Week 2018:
- Organise a vegetarian event, sharing food, knowledge or ideas (you may be eligible for a grant).
- Have a bring-and-share lunch with friends, colleagues or family members. Everyone can bring a veggie dish to enjoy.
- Ask your school / university / office / local library to display the NVW posters.
- Visit your local shops and ask them to display one of the National Vegetarian Week posters, or give them a stack of flyers for their customers.
- Share your favourite vegetarian recipes on social media (don’t forget to use #NationalVegetarianWeek)
If you’re already veggie, you can still sign up for some great recipes and competitions, and additionally there’ll be a few short and sweet actions for you to take part in during the week.
All things veggie and plant-based are very much on trend at the moment, and this year will see a first for the Vegetarian Society: the launch of a London Underground poster campaign. The campaign will run for two weeks and will showcase meat-free products and brands to millions of people all over the capital – and everyone can take part.
The Vegetarian Society is a charity that is passionate about veggie food! They want everyone to know how varied and delicious vegetarian dishes are – and how easy it is to enjoy a veggie lifestyle.

- National Vegetarian Week 2017 saw events happening across the country. There was a school sandwich competition, a film about veggie BBQs, urban community chefs rustled up veggie food to share, hundreds of elderly people received special home-made snack boxes featuring baked treats made and distributed by 16 to 25 year old volunteers. These were just some of the 100+ events put on by community groups, schools, universities, colleges, Brownies, individuals and others – all of which were awarded grants to help their communities get stuck in to National Vegetarian Week. The grants awarded by the Vegetarian Society ranged from £30 to £2,000, helping to make possible both large-scale and smaller more intimate National Vegetarian Week celebrations happen all across the UK.
