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! Tasks vary from helping at events, sharing our literature in community spaces, speaking to local care homes about the help V for Life could offer them to give their vegan and vegetarian residents a good quality of life. It could be anything that helps our charity to protect the vegan and vegetarian way of life for older people both now and for generations to come.

Hulme Community Garden Centre is once again opening its historic gates to welcome Green Island Festival this summer, on the 6th of June, 25th of July and the 5th of September.
This community-led festival, located just a stone's throw from the University of Manchester campus, aims to combat the gentrification of Hulme by hosting a diverse and eclectic line-up of more than 60 live bands and DJs across five stages between the Garden Centre and the Niamos Radical Arts Centre on Warwick Street.
Like last year, to ensure the smooth running of Green Island Festival, we require a dedicated team of stewards. But this year Green Island is bigger than ever, with an even larger roster of artists and performers, so we will be looking to hire a larger team of chatty and approachable volunteering staff to make sure that the festival goes off without a hitch!
Sign up now and get a free ticket to Manchester's one and only Green Island Festival on Saturday the 6th of June!
