Coffee, cake and good company — all of it plant-based. Host one in January, and raise money to help more people try vegan.
Free host pack · Takes two minutes · Host any day in January
A coffee morning is a social event where coffee, tea and cakes are served. It takes place in the morning (but not necessarily!) and is usually to raise money for charity. It’s a very British institution, where traditionally friends, family and strangers get together in someone’s home, village hall, community space or workplace.
The Veganuary Coffee Morning is a coffee morning with one small twist: everything on the table is plant-based. Pick a date in January, invite whoever you like, and ask people to donate what they can. The money helps Veganuary reach more people, while your guests find out that plant-based baking is very, very good. It’s a fantastic opportunity to socialise and have a great time.

You don’t need to be vegan, and neither do your guests.
✓
You don’t need to bake — shop-bought is absolutely fine.

Four friends round a kitchen table counts. So does a hall of forty.

Anywhere people gather and a kettle can be found.
Friends or neighbours, coffee, cake and a chat. Keep it relaxed, this isn’t a formal event. Six to twelve guests feels about right.
Book a meeting room or the kitchen; lunchtime works well. Our Workplace Pack has invite templates ready to send.
Parent groups, clubs, students, community halls. Add a bake-off and you’ll never be short of cake.
Everyone bakes the same recipe at home, then meets on a video call. Share the photos, raise the money remotely.
Everything arrives by email the moment you register. Print what you need, ignore what you don’t.

Not at all. Plenty of hosts aren’t. Invite the committed, the curious and the openly sceptical — the sceptics usually go back for seconds.
Most supermarkets stock vegan cakes and biscuits — just check the label. A cafetière, a few plant milks and a decent selection is all anyone needs.
Your fundraising page is created for you when you register. Share the link, print the QR code, and put a tin out for anyone with loose change.
