The Quaker Vegan Initiative gathering took place, as announced, on Saturday 11th of January 2020 at the Cafe in Friends House.

Initially we’d planned to meet at midday, but because there was a related event (‘Protecting our planet, Quakers working together‘) also taking place at Friends House, so we met an hour later when they broke for lunch.

Four participants from ‘Protecting our Planet’ joined Tim and I in the Cafe. None of them were vegan, but one was a vegetarian, and so the gathering turned into a brief information session, rather than Quaker vegans getting together to devise an action plan.
And that’s fine – it’s our aim, to inform and inspire.

We all live very busy lives, and as with any new voluntarily run initiative, it takes time to get established and to move forward.
