NOVEMBER is Vegan Month and this year we are encouraging compassionate people everywhere to register for the Great Vegan Challenge.

Vegans don’t consume any animal products and this can be for a variety of good reasons – their health, for animals or for the planet.

And the number of vegans worldwide is increasing fast. The likes of Alicia Silverstone, Thom Yorke, Moby, Benjamin Zephaniah, Bryan Adams, Chrissie Hynde, Martin Shaw, Michelle Pfeiffer, Russell Brand and Bill Clinton are all vegan.

To find out more and register at govegan.org.uk.
