I am also a fully qualified Run Leader and England Athletics Coach for running, also a registered nurse, mom of an 8 year old (mini vegan runner). Our club is located all over the UK, and we currently have over 3000 members. We are usually seen at parkrun, races, vegan eateries and much more. We have stalls at various festivals and our popular one gets 33% off tickets at Vegan Camp Out if you are a paid member (£6 per year of £9 for family). Will discuss our club, some general fitness, our inclusive community, and how being a vegan runner can help a great advocacy for activism.

Paul Holroyd is the author of the GreenBeard’s Vegan Verse series of poetry books. He can often be seen at Vegan festivals and events sharing his poetry to speak up for the animals.

A lot of his poems are hard hitting truths aimed directly at non-vegans, some go out to the billions of animals already killed or the ones on death row waiting for their inevitable gruesome fate. Other poems are for fellow vegans, whether heavy or light-hearted they all carry the same message, that veganism is all about the animals.

He is a bald-headed, green-bearded cRHYME fighter.

I will perform a solo acoustic blues – rock n roll set mixing originals, Elvis Presley, blues with a pro-vegan message.

This fireside chat explores how culture, creativity and punk ethics can amplify undercover investigations and reach audiences beyond traditional campaigning. Drawing on four decades of investigative work and Industry Standard, a vinyl album built from covert field recordings, it reflects on why cultural resistance matters alongside evidence, policy and campaigns.

I will perform original raw rock songs about the ups and downs of teenage girlhood, as well as about veganism, animal rights and the fight for change in a world that’s hungry for revolution. Through the lens of a teenage girl, I write about the immorality of animal agriculture and the discomfort of growing up in a society that protects these practices, while I also celebrate the joy that comes with veganism!
