Let's get vegan food on every public sector menu!
Our aim is to get more and better vegan options in the public sector. We want to see every school, hospital, prison and council menu contain good quality, nutritious plant-based options, every day.
We're working with our network of local campaigners to encourage local institutions to improve their current plant-based offering. We're also calling for legislative change, to guarantee a plant-based option on every public sector menu.
Find out more about the campaign and keep up to date with all the latest developments in our quest for better vegan provision.

Legislation
We are calling on the UK government, along with the Scottish and Welsh governments, to change the law to guarantee a plant-based option, suitable for vegans, on every public sector menu, every day.
There is a precedent for this change in Portugal and more recently in California (USA), with many more governments and local authorities looking into it.
In 2018, we launched petitions to Westminster, the Scottish Parliament and the National Assembly for Wales, calling for this change. Read about the progress and developments in each region.
We have the backing of several politicians from across the political spectrum, find who is backing the campaign.
Experiences / successes
Our amazing supporters have already been contacting their local councils, hospitals and schools to put pressure on them to increase their vegan options, with many successes, read about all the campaign successes.
