Can you list some of the things that TeenVGN do e.g. events that you organise, share, attend, information that you publish or share etc.

We are currently in the process of organising the UK's first ever vegan Summer Camp for teens! It's never been done before so we want to set it off with a blast! There'll be campaigns work shops, 100% vegan breakfast, lunch and dinner included, cookery classes and wildlife talks, activities and even a camp Hunger Games! Summer Camp is definitely the biggest project we have ever done, so it's really testing our strengths and we're overcoming some great challenges to make this experience a memorable one :) We're having so much fun finding an identity for TeenVGN right now.

Why are you both so passionate about it?

I think it's safe to say that both of us are passionate about it first and foremost because we want to try to make the world a better place for animals. We want to end animal suffering for good. We were born to use our expertise and training in the field of youth work and animal rights to make this happen! We both know too well that the only hope for this world is for our next generations to rise up and fight for the welfare and rights of animals. We are passionate about teaching, supporting and guiding them in the right direction so that when they are old enough or strong enough to influence the world, they'll be ready for it.

Are you both vegan? If so, is this in terms of diet or is it a lifestyle choice too?

Yes, we are both vegan. This is in terms of diet and lifestyle. From the food we eat, to the clothes we wear to the products we put into and onto our bodies. We strive to be the best we can be and to avoid animal suffering at all costs.

Why did you shift to a vegan diet?

We both shifted to a vegan diet initially as a challenge to ourselves. It continued beyond the time that we expected it to, and our compassion and knowledge of animal rights just grew bigger and stronger.

What have you noticed after shifting to a vegan diet?

Honestly, I (Laura) haven't noticed a significant difference in my health or skin etc. However, I do believe that going vegan has taught me compassion and kindness. And I think that's the biggest difference for me, an attitude adjustment.

Why did you decide to make veganism your lifestyle choice too?

I (Laura) actually went from eating meat straight to veganism. I had people around me who knew what they were talking about. For Kylie, I think, after learning more and more about animal rights and working for a campaigns group it was just an obvious next step.

What does TeenVGN sell and where are these items sourced from? Do you make them, are they donated or something else?

Everything we sell is either donated or handmade by friends and family. We have a great range of snacky food items from chocolate to health bars, from crisps to fruit packs. Our handmade items are jewellery, kitchen and house plaques with cute slogans and we also sell our own range of merchandise, organic, fair trade t shirts and vest tops with vegan ink.
