Vegetarian for Life (VfL) is a young and dynamic charity, which launched in 2008. Our vision is to improve the quality of life of older vegetarians and vegans. Why Vegetarian for Life? There are over 5000 vegetarians in care homes throughout the UK. Our 2009 survey found that around a quarter of care homes have vegetarian or vegan residents. Many other older vegetarians have meals on wheels, attend lunch clubs, or have carers providing home catering. In all these situations, as well as in independent living, help is sometimes needed on the provision of healthy and nutritious vegetarian meals. Helping you to find a vegetarian-friendly care home Members of the VfL UK List follow our Code of Good Practice by providing good vegetarian catering (and often vegan too). By the end of 2013, membership topped 700, with a good geographical spread through the UK. List membership is free and joining couldn’t be easier, either online or by mail. There are many benefits of being a member, including free marketing for homes and regular new recipes for residents to enjoy.
