Is Worcestershire England’s Most Vegan-Friendly County?
Maybe it’s something in the Malvern water, but Worcestershire seems to have a higher ratio of vegans than other counties, and is also home to many farm sanctuaries, where neglected and abused creatures live out their lives in peace, cared for by dedicated volunteers.
All struggle financially, so support them by either setting up a giving account (anonymous if preferred) at Charities Aid Foundation.
Or sign up at easyfundraising (nominate your chosen sanctuary, then anytime you buy from participating shops or services, they donate a portion of profits, at no cost to you (loyalty points are not affected):
- Baah-land has over 100 happy residents (run a shoestring budget, by dedicated volunteers))
- The Farm Animal Sanctuary does wonderful work. One pig resident was found by workers on the M42 (likely fallen off a trailer, on route to an illegal abattoir).
- Goodheart Sanctuaries is home to over 300 animals in 92 acres of rolling countryside (and two large pools, for for rescued waterfowl).
- Hillfields Animal Sanctuary offers refuge for 300 animals (who live out their days in peace and happiness).
Vegan Cooking Classes (near Malvern Hills)
Our Lizzy offers popular vegan cooking classes, which includes bed-and-breakfast accommodation (so you can walk off your dinner, after cooking it!) Prices include tuition, ingredients and a recipe booklet.
There are day courses for traditional or international cuisine. And courses to make plant-based bread, desserts, picnic lunches and even one on cooking with wild garlic.
Try Vegan Worcestershire Sauce!
Although Worcestershire sauce (the tangy condiment used for tomato juice and vegan shepherd’s pie) was created here, today the main brands use anchovies (fish). So support plant-based versions like Bonsan or Biona.
