The ins and outs of Veganuary!

You may have heard about Veganuary, but very few people know how it actually started.🌱 It began as an idea in Jane Land’s kitchen in York while speaking to her husband Matthew Glover in 2014 and has since turned into a phenomenon, with over 500,000 sign ups every year and an estimated 1 million people around the world participating. For one month each year (January), people will pledge to stop eating animal products to promote and trial the vegan lifestyle and hopefully take it on. Participants can sign up online and receive a downloadable starter kit (including restaurant guides, recipes and product directories) and daily support emails🫶. Veganuary enables you to join a large community and communicates the message that veganism is easy and fun!
