This year the Vegetarian Society has a fund to help support National Vegetarian Week (NVW) community activities and events. Added to your enthusiasm, time, creativity and energy, a grant could make all the difference.
Who can apply?
• Not for profit organisations in the UK (e.g. community groups, schools, housing associations, youth clubs, Cubs, Brownies, Scouts or Guides).
• Informal groups of friends, parents or students.
• Vegetarian groups, local network groups and student vegetarian and vegan societies (whether they are formally part of our network or not).
How much are the grants for?
Small grants up to £200 are available
What does your activity or idea have to include?
• It takes place during National Vegetarian Week (15-21 May 2017), or in the two weeks before.
• It promotes NVW exclusively as the primary purpose of the funded activity.
• It celebrates and promotes vegetarianism.
• Activities funded have to be exclusively vegetarian or vegan (so no non-vegetarian food or drink).
The Vegetarian Society wants events and activities to attract those beginning their vegetarian journey, meat-reducers and the veggie-curious, but also be inclusive of the wider vegetarian community.
What will the grant fund?
This is very much up to you and your creative ideas, but could include:
• Room hire
• Equipment hire
• Transport costs
• Cookery demonstration materials
• Public liability insurance
• Direct costs in delivering your activity
