THE Veganuary campaign challenges members of the public to go vegan for the first 31 days of the year.
The challenge, which was launched in the UK, has been running since 2014 and has inspired more than one million people across the globe to try going vegan for January.
However, data suggests that ten times more people actually participate and try vegan each year.

When you sign up to the Veganuary challenge you are then supported to try vegan through a series of emails, social media content, membership of a Facebook support group, and a website full of helpful resources like recipes, a starter kit and meal plans – so it really couldn’t be any easier.
Chris Packham, TV presenter and Veganuary Ambassador said: “Trashing the planet does none of us any good, as the coronavirus pandemic shows all too clearly.
“But we can emerge from this stronger and wiser, with a renewed commitment to protecting the environment, its inhabitants and our own futures.
“Being vegan is a great way to support the natural world and to live sustainably.”
Some of the vegan recipes you get with the free celebrity cookbook include:
