Community Organiser-The Vegan Society
Influencing people often starts with introducing concepts and answering questions about living a vegan life. Here are some examples of the work we do through volunteer roles:
Asking high street shops and restaurants to provide more vegan options through our Vegan on the Go campaign.
Lobbying MPs and other policy makers to influence laws that will make it easier to go vegan and stay vegan, through campaigns such as Catering for Everyone.
Educating the public on how inexpensive a vegan diet can be, through our Live Vegan For Less campaign. This is especially important in the cost-of-living crisis. Giving out our mini recipe leaflets is an impactful outreach activity.
Promoting the health benefits of a vegan diet, dispelling the myth that vegans are weak and deficient. Our Vegan and Thriving campaign showcases world record breaking athletes, busy parents and business owners. These inspiring individuals show what can be achieved when you remove animal products from your plate and thrive on a vegan diet.
Local issues are often unique and more varied than national issues. Our volunteers are vital! They enable us to share our messages and campaigns in an effective way. Research tells us that people are far more likely to trust information from a peer rather than an outside expert or organisation, so community volunteering vastly increases the impact of our campaigns.
Our network of committed local vegans is growing! The Vegan Society organises various outreach activities to influence change in every level of society. There are a range of activities going on all the time, from general educational stalls at events to meeting with local policy influencers.
We provide all resources, as well expenses for travel and anything else related to this role.

Desirable Skills
- It would be beneficial for this role to have access to a vehicle, as some actions will involve taking resources to events or visiting MPs’ offices. However, this is not mandatory as the campaign toolkit can be carried in a backpack.
