A little about me 🌱
Hi, I’m Kerri, founder of Plant Power Events UK.
Some of you may already know me from the vegan community. I’ve been involved in vegan events, running groups, fundraising and animal welfare for many years.
Back in 2015–2018, I was heavily involved with Vegan Runners UK and the Newcastle group, including helping coordinate festivals and events, and I also spent time chairing the club.
Over the years, I’ve gone on to organise and support numerous vegan festivals, markets and events, working alongside independent traders, charities, volunteers and animal organisations.
After a serious health scare, I found myself having to slow down and rethink what I wanted the next chapter to look like. I’m still very much in recovery, but setting up Plant Power Events UK gave me something positive to focus on and a way to return to the work and causes I care so deeply about.
It’s been a huge part of rebuilding my confidence and creating something of my own, while staying connected to the vegan community, independent businesses and, most importantly, animal welfare.
That experience is a huge part of what led me to create Plant Power Events UK.
I wanted to build something that brings together everything I care about — veganism, animals, ethical businesses, community and great events — while creating welcoming days out that everyone can enjoy.
For me, Plant Power isn’t simply about putting on markets and festivals. It’s about giving independent vegan businesses a platform, bringing people together and using every event as an opportunity to support and raise awareness for animals and veganism.
Whether you’ve known me from the running community, met me at vegan events over the years, or are discovering Plant Power Events UK for the first time — welcome. 💚
For the animals. Always. 🌱🐾
