VEGETARIAN FOR LIFE (V FOR LIFE)

The Vegetarian for Life (“V for Life”) grant scheme aims to help older vegans and vegetarians living in the UK who are in financial need maintain their healthy lifestyle, and/or to be as independent as possible.

V for Life invites applications from UK organisations that work with older people who may need this kind of assistance. Please note, applications from individuals are no longer accepted.

The scheme is not for cash grants; rather, V for Life will purchase goods and services on behalf of the applicant (see examples in the case studies on the Charity’s website).

The supporting organisation or professional should know the beneficiary well and be able to give a clear and comprehensive assessment of their needs. They must also be able to help provide robust evidence that the applicant is in financial need and has been a practising vegan or vegetarian for at least 12 months.
