Vegetarian Housing Association: UK Charity for Elderly Vegetarians

[Guest guest]

In the United Kingdom there is the Vegetarian Housing Association, a registered

charity for housing elderly vegetarians. I think that we all should begin

thinking seriously about how we would incorporate such a legal entity in North

America.

 

Young people inspired by this great dream should probably consider careers in

building, total care institutions, medicine and health (including public

health), law, accounting, finance, investment, education, community relations,

and government, to smooth us on our way towards building this.

The Vegetarian Housing Association enables vegetarians and vegans to live their

later years in peace and comfort, in homes provided specially for them.

Conventional retirement homes offer neither the special dietary needs nor the

companionship of like-minded people.

 

 

Formed in 1962, the VHA is a non profit-making organisation with charitable

status. Residents of our homes pay a rental charge which includes all services.

As nursing care is not provided, residents must be able to look after

themselves.

 

 

At the turn of the millennium, there were more than 4 million vegetarians in the

UK. The VHA aims to provide accommodation for the ever-increasing number of

people who share the vegetarian way of life.

 

The VHA is a member of the National Federation of Housing Associations.

Registered with the Housing Corporation No. LH 1857.

Registered as a Housing Society with Charitable Status under the Industrial and

Provident Societies Act. Registered No. 16140R.

Homes For Elderly Vegetarians Ltd. Registered Address: 50 Broadway, Westminster,

London SW1H 0BL.
