Do you have questions about becoming a member? We are here to help!
We are the world's first vegan registered charity, founded in 1944. We have since grown and are currently one of the leading vegan organisations in the world. As a registered charity we rely on our members support, so are incredibly grateful to those who help fund our work.
Membership is not exclusive to vegans. Everyone is welcome! We are here to support, advise and guide anyone who is looking to pursue a vegan lifestyle. Join us for help to become vegan, or to find out why veganism is kind to animals, your health, and our planet.
We have several vegan membership options designed to suit your preferences and budget.
- Standard membership with the option to pay monthly from £2 or annually from £24.
- Youth membership is only £12 for anyone under the age of 26 for 12 months. An affordable way to get to know us!
- Additional membership can be included for just 75p a month, for those living at the same address of the primary membership, including families and friends. This can be added during sign up.
- Gift Membership can be purchased as a gift for someone that you think would enjoy being part of The Vegan Society. Gifts can be customised for vegans and non-vegans, and we will offer support wherever they are on their vegan journey.
- Life membership is a great option if you want to show your commitment and keep things simple. This starts at £350 with discounts available for those aged 65 and over. Just choose this option when you go through your membership application.
