6 | VegfestUK www.vegfest.co.uk www.vegfest.co.uk VegfestUK | 7 Vegan Athletes for Peace Cycle Ride Organised by the world’s first vegan footballer Neil Robinson

In 2015, the Vegan Athletes for Peace Cycling Team will commence, journeying from Land’s End to John O’Groats travelling almost 950 miles in 9 days – an average of 100 miles per day!

The three-man team, comprising Dean Howell, Neil Robinson, and Tris West, aim to raise funds and awareness for some amazing charities, promoting true health/nutrition, humanitarian, environmental and anti-animal exploitation causes.

All donations will make a far reaching difference on many levels to these causes. We are incredibly fortunate to live in such an abundant environment, free to express ourselves, access to huge resources and live peaceful lives. This is nothing short of a luxury in this world in contrast with the billions of suffering, starving people and animals whose voices and pain are unheard and unexpressed. We all sleep under the same stars at night and breathe the same air; we all have a right to discover our potential and purpose.

Please support us on this epic challenge & adventure and choose the cause that resonates with you. To find out more, visit www.veganathletesforpeace.com.

A Well-Fed World Ethiopian School Lunch Programme (joint with International Fund for Africa)

AWFW have recently partnered with the International Fund for Africa to implement a long-term daily vegan meal plan and basic health services in two schools in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa.

Current food availability in many Ethiopian schools is sporadic and inadequate. Many children go without food and teachers even give some of their own limited pay to help.

AWFW’s partnership with IFA is developing a vegetable garden and building bakeries to increase onsite food availability, and to generate income for long-term supplementation and self- sustainability.

Fortunately, because of Ethiopia’s large Orthodox population (who have long and dispersed periods of ‘vegan’ fasting), schools sometimes default to serving vegan food year-round, so no special permissions or procedures for vegan school lunches are required.

The program’s successes will be used to model improvements for other schools around the city.

For full details about the school lunch programme, visit their website www.awfw.org/ethiopia

42 | VegfestUK www.vegfest.co.uk www.vegfest.co.uk VegfestUK | 43 VegfestUK Brighton 2015 review

VegfestUK just enjoyed a record- tangible vegan solutions to the food sustainability problem. General Election year also called for a Party Political Conference at breaking attendance of 12,000 visitors which the UK’s major political parties presented their manifestos at our latest event at the Brighton and engaged in debates on vegan issues.

Centre on March 28th 29th. Along the sustainability thread was a Hemp Expo with industry leaders and notable hemp businesses presenting their expertise on hemp. Survey results indicate that:

- nearly 50% of our visitors were new to VegfestUK - nearly 1,000 visitors decided to go vegan afterwards - another 2,000 are moving towards veganism - approximately 90% of all visitors are coming back next year

Plus there were over a dozen vegan comedians providing our crowd with plenty of humour and laughter. Add these to the rich mélange of 15 specialist vegan caterers, nearly 200 stalls, dozens of talks and cookery demos, kids cookery classes, a cinema among many other activities, and visitors to the event have well and truly been armed with a wealth of knowledge on how to go and stay vegan. We’re absolutely over the moon with both our attendance figures and the statistics gathered from our survey. It has always been our ultimate aim to convince the general public to go vegan through our events. In years gone by, our combination of food, comedy and music has worked a treat in making veganism more accessible to the public. Nowadays, however, going vegan has actually got really sexy, and we believe that there has never been a better time than right now to up our emphasis on vegan education and put out a consistent message to the public to go vegan.

If you wish to learn more about going vegan or convincing others to follow suit, check out our 3 upcoming shows in 2015 – Bristol (May 23rd 24th), London (October 10th 11th) and Scotland (December 5th 6th). Among the many highlights are brand-new vegan activists workshops and summits which provide tools and ideas for outreach. Dates for VegfestUK Brighton 2016 will be announced soon. Visit vegfest.co.uk for full details of these blockbuster events.
