We need volunteers (Friends) to help us to make life better for older vegans and vegetarians in the UK.                        

At V for Life (VfL), we envision a UK where older vegans and vegetarians (veg*ns) can thrive – living in dignity, with their beliefs fully respected and their needs confidently met.

Friends of V for Life are vegan or vegetarian people who work voluntarily to help raise awareness of the charity and its work. You can really help us to make a difference to someone’s life!  Join us and take part in the V for Life Challenge which is designed to help us to reach the people who need our services. 

Become a champion for older vegans and vegetarians and take V for Life Challenge! 

Want to make a real difference for older vegans and vegetarians? Join the V for Life Challenge – a simple yet powerful way to advocate for better support, choices, and respect for those in later life who choose a compassionate diet. By completing five key actions, you’ll earn recognition as a V for Life Champion – a leader in creating change for older veg*ns in your community. 

Your 5 steps to becoming a V for Life Champion 

✅ Join our Friends Facebook Group – Once you have applied to be a volunteer, stay connected with like-minded advocates and share your progress. Search for  “Friends of V for Life-a private group for all registered VfL volunteers”      and we will add you to the group. 

✅ Introduce yourself to your local library – Help spread awareness by ensuring they display resources to support older veg*ns. 

✅ Put up display materials – Place posters or leaflets in key locations to help spread the word. 

✅ Reach out to a local veg*n group, MP, and care home – Start conversations and advocate for more inclusive food options.
