What's it got to do with me?

If you are a vegetarian, a vegan or someone trying to change, you can make a difference. You can have a louder voice.

How much does it cost?
Subscription rates vary from £8 for junior members to £26 for the whole family, but many of our members give more.

What will I get if I join?
As a member of the Vegetarian Society, you will receive a glossy quarterly magazine packed with news, features, recipes and other information. You will enjoy membership discounts in hundreds of shops, cafes and other veggie-friendly places, including our own Cordon Vert School. You will also have access to a special telephone information service from our headquarters, plus an opportunity to get in touch with local contacts for on the ground knowledge about what’s available for vegetarians in different parts of the country.

What else can I do?
If you want to get more actively involved, you can join one of our local groups. From the Orkney Isles to the South of England, we have local contacts who fly the flag for vegetarianism in their own community and hold regular meetings and social events. There are lots of different ways to help the Society financially, the easiest of which is to make sure that you tick the gift aid box when you fill in your membership form. If you would like to do more, please indicate this on the form as well and we will contact you with further details or visit our Community page to find out about volunteering, speaking etc and our Projects page to find more things you can do..

What will you do with my money?
Your donation will be spent on our charitable work. This means that it will pay for us to send out free leaflets, guides and recipe booklets. It will help towards the costs of National Vegetarian Week. It will pay for a member of staff to attend conferences and meetings about the latest developments in nutritional research, then offer that information to others without charge. It will pay for our website, which provides free information for vegetarians all over the world (including countries where it is still difficult to find sound advice on vegetarian issues). It will pay for talks in schools, information packs for teachers, advice for pregnant vegetarians and those with other special needs. It will help us to change people’s minds about vegetarianism. It will make a difference.
