Local Contacts for The Vegetarian Society
The Vegetarian Society
has a two-tier system of local representatives: Affiliated Groups and
Information Centres. Information Centres marked with a * are trying
to grow into groups, and those marked ** are actually small groups,
so please contact them if you are interested in joining. Business Display
Info Centres have our literature and information available for their
customers and visitors but do not usually put on events
Please remember
that all groups and information centres are run by volunteers and are
entirely self-funded.
