Hi,
I work for a charity in the UK called Vegetarian for Life. We support vegans and vegetarians in later life to maintain their ethical values.

Always looking to hear about vegan experiences and values.

Hey Joe, welcome to the forum!
Your charity sounds interesting; how successful would you say you are with the results?

Hi Red,
Thanks for the question. I think we talk more in terms of progress than success perhaps. So we have a really well established team of chefs who train care home staff and engage groups around the UK. We also work directly with a lot of care homes (we have a list of subscribed care homes, which has definitely grown.)
Now one of our focuses is building evidence of where there is discrimination against specific diets in care settings. This work is starting to grow.
