Support The Vegan Society
Whatever your level of fitness, we'd love for you to join our incredible fundraising running team, whether you're looking for charity places or already have your own in an upcoming running event.
Not only will your participation show the world what plant-powered fitness can achieve, but the funds you raise will enable us to continue our work and create increased awareness of the benefits of vegan living. You will help generate much needed money from your chosen charity run whether it is a 10K run, a half marathon, full marathon or even a triathlon ... whatever the challenge ... we will support you every step of the way.
Thanks to you, we will be able to continue to advocate on behalf of vegans in vulnerable situations, get vegan-friendly policies into practice in organisations and settings such as hospitals, schools and care homes, and promote veganism to new audiences all around the world.
Once you have decided on an event, just head over to our JustGiving page and click on the orange "Fundraise for us" button to start your charity fundraising page! This is where you will be able to share your story and detail why you are taking on this running challenge for the society. It will also be the hub for updating supporters on your training and hard work leading up to the big day! JustGiving is a great platform for fundraising activity, including charity running, and raising money for a good cause.
In return, we will promote your JustGiving page on our social media and give you an opportunity to write a blog post for our website and newsletters; telling your story and sharing it with a like-minded audience who will not only celebrate it but cheer you on! You will also receive an official The Vegan Society running vest ahead of your run for charity (as seen on Matthew in the photo above).
