Valentine’s Day: Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve

There are many ways to advocate for animals and help to spread the message through fun, imaginative actions – many of which are totally free.

Here are a few suggestions to get you started – but you probably have loads of brilliant ideas of your own.  

Please be sure to share your experiences and photos of your actions for animals on social media, tagging @AnimalAid and #ValentineAnimals  

• Cook a delicious vegan meal for friends, family or colleagues 
• Get a group of friends to commit to volunteer for a day or more at a local sanctuary 
• Donate some vegan food to a local food bank or food collection point 
• Post a photo of yourself (and any companion animal who lives with you) on social media, pointing friends to our Vegan pages (if you have a ‘go vegan’ or other suitable T-shirt, make sure you wear that!) 
• Take a picture of your favourite ‘signature’ dish that you love cooking, and share your recipe online 
• Sign an online petition; you can find a number of them on our Take Action page. 
• This Valentine’s Day, Wear Your Heart on your Sleeve for animals by registering your interest to become a school speaker.
  
• Record a short message about why you went vegan – and share on social media 
• And, don’t forget, you can always buy a little gift for someone you love (including yourself, perhaps!) from our fabulous, cruelty-free, vegan online shop!
