Damien is the Co-Founder of Vevolution and Director of the creative agency Growing Box where he helps social change organisations tell their stories. In 2016 he co-created SWINE, a short film exposing the rise of antibiotic resistance in factory farms. He is a widely published writer whose work can be found on the Guardian and Huffington post. Damien created Vevolution because he believes veganism is a social justice movement changing the world and deserves a festival dedicated to education and community.

Despite growing up in a family of six I became vegan at age 4 or 5 (around 1968), not for any particular reason that I remember, I just think I was born and always meant to be that way. Any kind of effective activism was difficult for a long time because we were in such a tiny minority. I always did what I could, when I could though.
Latterly as veganism and the animal rights movement has become more mainstream I have become heavily involved with the save movement, with outreach and education especially through cooking. I am a regular blogger via my veganfuture.uk website and at the end of last year launched the fast growing Vegan Global News channel which is on the web and on social media. |

We met Sarah at the recent Weybridge 10k which was her first 10k run. We were so bowled over by her story we asked her to share it at the Surrey Vegan Fair. If you ever had any doubt about the effectiveness of diet on health and wellbeing and the misinformation spread by uninformed medical practitioners then you must hear Sarah's story.
