V for Life and its sister brand, Vegetarian for Life

What they do
V for Life is the UK charity dedicated to helping older vegans and vegetarians maintain their dietary choices with dignity and confidence. They provide self‑advocacy materials, bespoke chef training, seasonal recipes, cookery demos, grants, and support – all with a focus on care-home and community settings.

How it works with Evergreen
When Evergreen customers choose VfL as their nominated charity, Evergreen donates a portion of its commission to support these vital services – helping older veg*ns stay true to their values in later life.

Why it matters
VfL supporters are part of a movement ensuring that older veg*ns aren’t forgotten. Their Self‑Advocacy Pack equips people with the tools to safeguard their beliefs; nearly one in six care homes have already pledged to cater ethically; and their work influences policy at Westminster.

Quick facts

• Monthly support from just £3, with perks like self‑advocacy guides and discounts on publications and merchandise.
• Offers cookery training, lunch clubs, a veg*n pen‑ and phone-pal service, and grants to help older veg*ns live independently.
• Publishes eBites magazine, recipes, specialist guides such as vegan texture‐modified, and more to aid care‑sector catering

In their own words

“Protect your vegan or vegetarian identity – now and in the future.”
