National Vegetarian Week (NVW) is the annual awareness-raising campaign promoting inspirational vegetarian food and the benefits of a meat-free lifestyle.

Celebrated by The Vegetarian Society since 1992, the Week is now an established event and everyone from small businesses to big corporations, schools, community groups and individuals are welcome to come on board and make the week a success.

Press coverage for 2007 reached record levels, with a total circulation of over 280 million, across newspapers, magazines and radio, not to mention additional coverage on television and online. With your help we're trying to beat that record and make this years NVW even bigger, with not only wider press coverage but more events, more involvement and more fun!

Why not sign up to the 'Veggie Pledge' and let everybody know what you're committing to do for the Week - this might be anything from trying a veggie meal, to going veggie for the day, week, month, year...or even for life! Perhaps you're already veggie and can pledge to talk to friends and family about the reasons for going veggie? Whatever you do, let us know by filling in the form and we'll post all pledges on the website for everybody to see and be inspired by!
