V For Life

V For Life cater for older vegans and those in care and run a fantastic area at VegfestUK London!

 

 

 

 

V… for Life begins at 50! The V for Life Zone is the go-to place for all aspects of veganism in later life.

With pay-as-you-feel vegan refreshments served \at the periphery, on top of seating. Proudly curated and hosted by V for Life

Feeling the effects of overcrowding? Why not sit back and enjoy a cuppa in the V for Life Zone? Nab some great publications and merch, enjoy an attractive array of refreshments, and listen in to inspiring cookery demonstrations and thought-provoking presentations. You could also join one of our socials, which are the perfect opportunity to meet like-minded souls.

 

Refreshments served outside the V for Life Zone are offered on a 'pay as you feel' basis, and any profits will be used to support the charity's work.

 

There'll also be plenty of free information to hand about:
