A fantastic day with many attractions including cruelty-free merchandise stalls from a variety of animal protection organisations, speakers, films, vegan cafe, free veggie food samples and recipes & lots more!
This will be an exciting event, raising awareness of how everyone can live compassionate, healthy, ethical lifestyles and help to create a more caring society. Please put this date in your diary now!
STALLS
A chance to stock up on animal-friendly books, chocolates, cosmetics, toiletries and clothes and meet lots of other caring people. For the really well organised, it's an opportunity to get your compassionate Christmas cards and presents well in advance.
Stalls already booked include the Dr Hadwen Trust for Humane Research, Animal Aid, VIVA, the Captive Animal Protection Society and Farm Animal Rescue Sanctuaries.
TALKS
A full day of talks on the theme of Compassionate Living, including vegetarianism, factory farming, vivisection and animals in sport and entertainment. We are very pleased to have two experienced school speakers from Animal Aid - Diane Smith, who is the Midlands Regional Education Officer and Kate Fowler, who will be speaking on the links between cruelty to animals and violence towards people. There will also be a talk on the work of the Dr Hadwen Trust to replace animals in the medical research and a speaker from the Captive Animal Protection Trust.
The talks will include videos and question and answer sessions. They will be suitable for all adults and teenagers interested in animal protection issues but will be particularly useful for teachers and schoolchildren covering these subjects in their studies (Food Technology, Citizenship, English, Religious Studies, Philosophy and Science). More & more schools are now requesting school talks from groups such as Animal Aid and this will be a great opportunity to gather plenty of information for school projects etc as there will be masses of free literature and lots of experts to talk to. The talks will also be very useful for Youth Workers or anyone wanting to know more about humane education. Full details of the programme will be published nearer the date. You are welcome to come for just one talk or stop for the whole day.
