THIS June will mark Animal Aid's first ever 'Summer Vegan Pledge' - a 30-day vegan pledge that gives non-vegans and those curious about a plant-based diet all of the information and help they need to go vegan for a month and hopefully stay vegan thereafter.

With the number of vegans in the UK growing by more than 350 per cent in ten years, and a recent study suggesting that now 7% of UK adults identify as vegans, it has never been easier to adopt a plant-based diet.

The number of vegan products has grown rapidly with new vegan products hitting shelves seemingly on a daily basis.

There are now vegan alternatives to almost everything - including "chicken" nuggets, ice-cream, burgers, and even steak available in supermarkets, local shops, coffee shops, restaurants and beyond.

A vegan diet is kinder to animals, it is better for the environment and it is also healthy.
