Community Organisers
The Community Network is made up of people who care about veganism, and our mission – to make it easier for more people to go vegan and stay vegan. We believe a veganism that is well supported by the right legislation, the right options, and the right agricultural systems is the most accessible. Community Organisers are the point of contact between staff and Community Advocates (who are also volunteers) in their local area, providing support and organisation to their local group to promote Vegan Society campaigns.

Research Volunteers
Research and Admin Volunteers support staff across the whole organisation. They work in a variety of fields and bring their experience from financial economics, environmental policy, banking, international development, and administration.

Proofreading Volunteers
Proofreading volunteers help us to keep putting out relevant content across all our platforms. They are globally based, bringing their experience as students, science editors, attorneys, teachers, software testers, translators, and business owners. As well as an excellent eye for detail, they have an encyclopaedic knowledge of grammar, and in many cases, a professional proofreading background. They enable us to get blogs, articles, website content, social media posts, research, newsletters, presentations and reports out to our members and supporters as quickly as possible.
