Vegan Women’s Club: Together We Are Stronger

Vegan Women’s Club: Together We Are Stronger

Expect laughter, heartfelt stories and plenty of inspiration as Vegan Women’s Club brings vegan women together to share their voices, experiences and passion.

Our previous stage sessions have shown just how powerful our stage sessions can be.

Vegfest UK Bristol was absolutely packed and dynamic, with fantastic energy and connection. Birmingham brought tears, laughter and a wonderful sense of empowerment. Our session at Vegfest London last year was deeply moving, with personal stories that stayed with us long after everyone left the stage.

Each session offers a welcoming space where fellow vegan women can share a little about themselves, celebrate something positive and speak about what matters to them. Some stories are uplifting, others deeply emotional. Together, they reveal the strength, compassion and determination of vegan women, and the difference we can make.

You do not need to run a business, lead a campaign or have a public profile to have something valuable to share. Every woman brings her own experiences, ideas and perspective. Come along to listen, connect and enjoy being among women who share your values.

Founded by Karin Ridgers and Victoria Featherstone Pearce, Vegan Women’s Club launched in 2025. Since then we have brought women together through regular online meetups and in person events, creating opportunities for friendship, support and connection.

We are proud to have the support of our wonderful ambassadors: Heather Mills, Jasmine Harman, Dr Shireen Kassam, Juliet Gellatley and Wendy Turner-Webster.

We welcome vegan women of all ages, from all over the world. Whether you have been vegan for decades or are just beginning, there is a place for you in our community.

We are so excited to have this stage space, with super thanks and love to Vegfest for giving vegan women the opportunity to be heard, celebrated and connected.

Together we are stronger.

Animal Companions

Fascinating update on the most recent research around plant based food for animal companions with Dr Andrew Knight, alongside the latest updates on the development of lab grown cat food with Billy from Omni.

Takeaways

Vegan Animal Companion Diets

– At least 11 studies of dogs and 3 of cats, have shown that health outcomes achieved by nutritionally sound vegan diets, are at least as good as those achieved by meat-based pet foods

– Pet food consumes 9% of all livestock animals globally, and 20% in nations with high pet ownership such as the US.

– If all pet dogs were transitioned on to nutritionally sound vegan diets, it would spare more greenhouse gases than produced by all of the UK, and would save sufficient food energy to feed the entire EU population. 8 billion land animals would also be spared from slaughter annually.

– Such factors are driving a rapid expansion of the vegan pet food sector, which is estimated to be worth USD 26 billion by 2033 for vegan dog food alone.  www.sustainablepetfood.info.

The health and environmental benefits of vegan pet food are profound. We should transition our cats and dogs to nutritionally sound vegan diets where possible. See state of research here – https://sustainablepetfood.info
