Scary dairy outreach in #HebdenBridge!

Last week, some of our volunteers hosted a stall in Hebden Bridge to talk about the first annual World Plant Milk Day. They offered taste testers of ice creams, chocolates and various plant-based milks, with access to information about why you might want to buy these products. People were receptive and interested, offering positive feedback.

24 Aug: Plant milk outreach stall #HebdenBridge

To mark World (Plant) Milk Day and Animal Aid’s Dairy Week of Action, we will be holding a stall in Hebden Bridge town centre. We will have information, leaflets, milk and food samples.

If you fancy helping out by handing out samples or chatting to members of the public, contact Kim at kkashworth@gmail.com. Whether you can spare thirty minutes or four hours, every little helps!

If you’re not yet vegan, why not come along to try the samples and pose us your burning questions about plant milk! There may be chocolate…

We are looking for volunteers to help with whatever aspect of running these that you are comfortable with, such as setting up, talking to people, or making some food. Even coming down for even an hour or so would be great!
