Fwd: Vegan Organic Trust Appeal

[Guest guest]

VOT (Vegan Organic Trust, the charity wing of VON, the Vegan Organic

Network) have started an appeal for donations to set up an education,

research and demonstration centre. It will comprise at least 10 acres

of land with buildings and planning permission. The aim is to put

stockfree farming more prominently in the public domain. It will have

fulltime workers, regular training and education courses,

demonstration grounds and a commercial box scheme, and will make a

significant impact on the structure and ethics of food production.

 

Recently, the Movement for Compassionate Living received a legacy of

£80,000, and they've generously agreed to donate £70,000 to the VOT

centre project. VOT still need to raise a further £300,000. More

Cheques/POs payable to 'Vegan Organic Trust'. If you pay UK tax,

since VOT is a charity, they can claim back the basic rate tax from

the Inland Revenue that you have paid. This increases your donation

by about 28%. For an article on VON/VOT, see
