Vegetarian for Life (VfL) is a young and dynamic charity that was launched in 2008. Our vision is to improve the quality of life of the UK’s older vegetarians and vegans.

VfL was formed with resources from the Vegetarian Housing Association (VHA), which provided sheltered housing and meals to older vegetarians. VHA was established in the 1960s, but its activities became increasingly unviable because of changes in society. In 2007, VHA decided to wind down its housing activities and redirect its resources to funding the formation of Vegetarian for Life—a charity whose aims are in sympathy with those of VHA.

Our purpose, vision, goals, values and activities are reproduced below.

To help older vegetarians and vegans throughout the UK.
