Company activities and impact

During the financial year, the company organised and delivered the Vegan and Animal Rights Conference (VARC), a UK-based event bringing together individuals and organisations interested in veganism and more ethical and sustainable food systems. The conference provided a structured space for learning, skills development, and collaboration. Activities included talks, panel discussions, and practical workshops covering topics such as fundraising, community organising, and public engagement. The company facilitated networking and knowledge-sharing between attendees, supporting the exchange of ideas, experience, and good practice. This contributed to strengthening connections across the community and supporting more coordinated and effective work. The activities benefited the community by improving participants’ skills and knowledge, increasing collaboration between individuals and organisations, and supporting those working towards more sustainable and ethical lifestyles. Feedback from attendees indicated increased confidence, new connections, and practical actions taken following the event.

Consultation with stakeholders

Stakeholders: The company’s stakeholders include conference attendees (individuals interested in veganism and sustainable food systems), speakers, partner organisations, funders, volunteers, and the wider community engaged in creating a more ethical and sustainable society. Consultation: Stakeholders are consulted through post-event surveys, feedback forms, direct conversations during and after events, and ongoing engagement with partners and participants throughout the year. Actions taken in response to feedback: Feedback from stakeholders has informed the development of the conference programme and structure. This includes introducing more practical, skills-based sessions, creating dedicated opportunities for networking and collaboration. Feedback has also been used to improve event delivery, accessibility, and the overall attendee experience. Ongoing input continues to shape future planning and priorities.
