The UK Vegan Society defines veganism as "a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude - as far as is possible and practical - all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment."

The
Vegan Society of the University of Glasgow was formed by staff of the
University in 2006 after
successfully encouraging Hospitality Services
to provide vegan food options during the University's first Diversity
Week. The University's catering
service now provides vegan food every day. Glasgow was the first
University
to achieve accreditation from the UK
Vegan Society through its
"Sunflower
Standard" Scheme. Hospitality Services' main venue The Brasserie at 1A The Square (OATS) is open to the general public. The refurbished Hub, opened in 2008 as the Fraser Building, has similar vegan provision. More information is available at Vegan Food @ University of Glasgow. |
We continue to champion vegan causes in the University - see our aims section.
VSUG is open to staff and students of the University. We welcome vegans, aspiring vegans, supporters of veganism and animal welfare, and supporters of the provision of vegan food.
For further information about the Society and how to join contact Karen at vegan-info@gla.ac.uk.
