The charitable objects.

To advance the education of the public in Plymouth and its surrounding area in all aspects of ecologically sustainable lifestyles and development in accordance with vegan principles:

1. by the provision and distribution of information about organisations, campaigns, scheme and projects that exist to protect the environment and improve quality of life for humans and animals; and
2. by the encouragement of greater consideration towards the environment, humans and animals for the benefit of the public

In this context Vegan means :-

". . ways of living that seek to exclude, as far as is possible and practical, all forms of exploitation of animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. . . Ultimately, the use of animal products (such as meat, dairy, eggs, leather and wool) will be viewed as an inhumane and unsustainable practice from a much less enlightened age."
