Vegfam - our charity of choice

Vegfam is the charity of choice for VegfestUK and will receive half the money collected at Brighton this year though our collections, tombola, raffle and goody bags. In 2011, VegfestUK donated a total of 860 to Vegfam. This includes a collection of 300 taken at Brighton VegfestUK in March 2011, 200 at Bristol in May 2011 and 360 donated by VegfestUK team members throughout the course of the year. Big thanks to everyone who donated last year and we very much hope to top that amount by some considerable way this year, targeting to raise at least 3,000 for Vegfam during 2012. Vegfam Feeds the Hungry without Exploiting Animals and is an excellent choice for everyone, especially for vegetarians and vegans who wish to fund projects that help alleviate famine and suffering in some of the poorest quarters of the globe, though projects that are vegan and that do not involve the exploitation of animals. To find out more about Vegfam visit www.vegfamcharity.org. uk or visit stall number 1 at VegfestUK Brighton to pick up some further info about their work.

Beanies are proud to announce that the FRYS range is now available through 3663 - specialist distributors to the caterers trade. 3663 is one of the biggest food service suppliers in the UK, supplying schools, hotels, colleges, universities, pubs, hospitals, prisons and cafs, and in 2012 you can ask your local catering service to provide FRYS as a regular option. This is particularly handy if you have children in school or are a student at university and want to have some decent veggie options, or if you are going into hospital and want some great veggie choices! Nearly all caterers are supplied by 3663 so they can access FRYS whenever they want - or whenever a customer requests. If you are vegetarian or vegan, please help establish decent food choices by demanding FRYS from any caterers in your area! And congratulations to the FRYS Chicken Burger - winner of the Best Vegan Meat category in the VegfestUK 2011 Awards... 26 | Vegfestuk Vegfestuk | 27

The Vegan Society

The Vegan Society is approaching its 70th birthday and continues to flourish at the front line of educating and informing people of the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle. Their publication The Vegan won a VegfestUK award in 2011 for the best vegan magazine and rightly so - a really good read once every 3 months. The Society welcomes you all to become a member for a small fee, which includes a subscription to their magazine - excellent value all round! Big thanks once again for their wholehearted support for our events! www.vegansociety.com

They are available in 4 big supermarkets - Asda, Sainsburys, Tesco and Waitrose - as well as many independent health stores throughout the UK. We sampled the Spicy Bean Quarterpounder for lunch in the VegfestUK office recently and were very impressed - a definite spicy tang along with a really excellent crunchy golden breadcrumb coating meant the burger went down particularly well with the team! Goodlife products are well recommended, especially for families and kids and for those making the transition to a veggie or vegan diet. Big thanks to the team for sponsoring the event and we welcome the opportunity to sample their entire range when they come to Brighton. Check out their full range out at www.goodlife.co.uk

Redwood Wholefoods are one of the best known producers of vegan products in the UK today. They have a large and varied range of plant based meats and cheeses, and one of their most incredible products is the Super Melting Cheezly Mozzarella which looks and feels just like the real thing. It also actually melts just like real cheese, which means it can be used as a superb ingredient in its own right in a multitude of dishes such as pizza, lasagne and cheeseburgers. With their almost unparalleled range of sausages and burgers, as well as over 40 meat and cheese products, the company have now ventured into the specialist oils market (including flax, hemp, omega seed, and coconut oils), & have their own range of dairy free desserts available too, as well as fudge and chocolate and a host of other products. Redwood are at Brighton 2012 for both days in full effect with a catering operation for those who want to indulge in eating out big time with some of their best selling products available.
