FUNDRAISING Donating in memory of a loved one
We recently received a generous £1000 donation made in memory of one of our dedicated supporters – Mark Raverty, of Dumfries and Galloway. Mark had been an avid vegan campaigner for over 30 years and attended events all over the UK. His sister Pat tells us that he was extremely dedicated to the movement and that it was an important part of his life. Mark ran his own vegan Facebook page and had many followers. His family have received some lovely messages from vegan members and are so pleased he will be remembered in such a positive light. If you knew Mark and want to send any messages on to his loved ones, please contact us using the details below. If you sadly lose a loved one who was a supporter of The Vegan Society, making a donation towards the movement they felt so passionately about can be a lovely way to remember them and celebrate their life. To speak to us about making a donation in memory of a loved one, please contact Ruby using the details below.
There is plenty of time ahead of these dates to start training, and we will provide plenty of support to keep you going and help you fundraise. Every penny you raise will help us expand our campaign reach and promote a vegan lifestyle.

Running for veganism This year has seen hundreds of events across the country cancelled, with thousands of charities losing out on funding that would have been raised through marathons, bike rides, swims and more. Thankfully, we now have new dates confirmed for all the runs that we have charity places available in. They have all been postponed to 2021, to dates when the organisers feel they will realistically be able to hold events again with safety measures in place.
