Join Dean Bracher for an informative session exploring what a vegan diet actually is, its potential for human and planetary health, the key nutrients to be aware of, and the facts behind some of the most common nutrition myths. The session will also share practical tips to help put vegan nutrition into practice, making it easier to go vegan and stay vegan With Dean Bracher www.vegansociety.com 1pm Why We Need To Love Pigeons Our engaging and thought-provoking talk introduces audiences to the different types of pigeons in the UK, with light-hearted participation (yes, including pigeon coos!). We explore why feral pigeons live on our streets, how human history shaped their lives, and why they need our help today. From stringfoot and feeding bans to harmful misinformation, we highlight the real issues affecting pigeon welfare — and the practical work being done to protect them. We also address pigeon racing and why we believe it is exploitative and should be banned in the UK. The talk concludes with an invitation to join the National Pigeon Advocacy Association and be part of a growing movement for compassion — because learning to respect the wildlife in our towns and cities can be the first step toward greater kindness for all animals.

All products used in treatments are vegan friendly and all classes and events cater with nutritious vegan refreshments With Angela Kimberley https://home-holistics.com/ 3pm Contribution: The Shortcut To Fufillment The Shortcut To Fulfilment explores the connection between veganism, animal welfare and personal wellbeing. Combining lived experience with scientific research in neurobiology, psychophysiology and altruism, Sioni Mavani-Puri examines how acts of compassion can positively influence stress regulation, emotional wellbeing and long term health, while creating a deeper sense of purpose and fulfilment. The talk also highlights practical and often overlooked ways people can support animal welfare beyond donating or volunteering, showing how small acts of contribution can create powerful ripple effects for both animals and humans alike.
