Support The Vegan Society at your wedding
Your wedding is a great time to let your friends and family know about the causes that mean the most to you. We will be honoured if you choose to include The Vegan Society in your special day, and your support will make a big difference to our important campaigning work.

Use the opportunity to thank your guests for attending by giving them Vegan Society badges as favours. Make a donation to the charity and we can send you some of our beautiful enamel sunfl ower badges or another gift of your choice.
You could also ask for donations to The Vegan Society in place of wedding gifts from your guests. Set up an online fundraising page and share it with your guests ahead of the wedding. We can also provide collection boxes to allow people to donate on the day.
Donate without spending a penny
We understand that weddings can be expensive, and there are plenty of ways you can support our work without it costing you a thing. You don’t have to be getting married to take advantage of the below, and they are all simple ways to donate.
Amazon Smile If you shop using Amazon, you can support The Vegan Society through your purchases. Simply type smile.amazon. co.uk in the address bar, select The Vegan Society as your chosen charity and Amazon will donate a percentage of your purchase price to us, at no extra cost to you. Give as you Live If you prefer to shop directly from brands, you can register with Give as you Live (giveasyoulive.com), and they will send The Vegan Society a proportion of your purchase prices from sites such as Marks & Spencer, Boots, Ticketmaster and Trainline. There are lots of brands enrolled in the scheme, so if you do a regular online shop or are making a one-off purchase, it’s always worth checking to see if your retailer is on the site.
Spring clean Whether you are making space at home ahead of your wedding or just need to clear out some of your old possessions this spring, you can use this opportunity to support The Vegan Society’s work. You can sell old clothes and other unwanted items and you can donate a proportion of your profit to The Vegan Society.
Payroll Giving Find out if your employer is enrolled in the Charities Aid Foundation Give as you Earn scheme. You can pick The Vegan Society as your chosen charity and have a donation come through to us automatically from your paycheck each month.
