Veguary is an intermediary online vegetarian charity platform based in the United Kingdom. Veguary challenges people to give up meat, fish and poultry for one month in February to raise money for great causes around the world.
Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat, and may also include abstention from by-products of animal slaughter.
The United Kingdom (UK), officially the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and often referred to as Britain, is a sovereign country located off the north-western coast of the European mainland. The United Kingdom includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland, and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the United Kingdom that shares a land border with another sovereign state, the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border, the United Kingdom is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to the east, the English Channel to the south and the Celtic Sea to the south-west, giving it the 12th-longest coastline in the world. The Irish Sea lies between Great Britain and Ireland. With an area of 242,500 square kilometres (93,600 sq mi), the United Kingdom is the 78th-largest sovereign state in the world. It is also the 22nd-most populous country, with an estimated 66.0 million inhabitants in 2017.
Set up in 2017, Veguary aims to "save two birds with one phone", by allowing users to cut down on animal foods, freeing up pressures on agricultural lands and at the same time raising money for causes around the world. Users can sign up free, receive a Veguary page to share with friends, family and colleagues and raise money for any cause they wish, starting February 2018.
