At a vegetarian family group, children have the opportunity to meet and play with other kids who are vegetarian just like them. Your child can join in the party teas knowing that they can eat anything on offer without having to ask, “Is that vegetarian?” and they can make friends with other children who see animals as friends, not food. Meeting other veggie kids will help them feel part of a wider community.

The group is also social for the parents, who can meet others raising children ‘outside the square’. While the kids play, parents can chat and laugh about the joys of raising our vibrant and energetic veggie children.

We are an inclusive community. Our shared meals and morning / afternoon teas are vegan so that everyone, both vegetarian and vegan, can enjoy the food together. If you have a child with a particular food allergy or intolerance, do tell your group coordinator. They will do their best to ensure your child is catered for at food times.
