Local Contacts for The Vegetarian Society

The Vegetarian Society has a two-tier system of local representatives: Affiliated Groups and Information Centres. Information Centres marked with a * are trying to grow into groups, and those marked ** are actually small groups, so please contact them if you are interested in joining. Business Display Info Centres have our literature and information available for their customers and visitors but do not usually put on events
Please remember that all groups and information centres are run by volunteers and are entirely self-funded. If you contact any, please include a stamp for return postage.

Email: some groups have asked that their email addresses aren't set out the conventional way in order to reduce spam. If contacting, please replace (at) with @ and so on.

• Yorkshire Vegetarians is a friendly, low volume email list for vegetarians and vegans in the Yorkshire area of the UK. Please note that we are not a group as such and don't have official meetings, although we do tend to catch up with each other at local events, the details of which we post to the list if we think others may be interested. If you live in our area and are vegetarian or vegan, please do feel welcome to join us.
