A new study conducted by Ipsos MORI, and commissioned by the Vegan Society and Vegan Life Magazine, has found that there are over half a million people following a vegan diet in Britain, an over 350% increase over the past decade.
According to the study – the largest of its kind ever conducted in Britain – there are roughly 540,000 vegans in the country, a 360% increase from 2006, when there was just 150,000 vegans (the study took into account those 15 and older).
The study found that 42% of vegans in Britain are aged 15 to 34, with 44% aged 35 to 64 and just 14% aged 65 and older.
The amount of vegetarians in Britain is a little over double the number of vegans, the study found, with 1.14 million living in the country.

To whom it may concern,
I’m an undergraduate doing a project on veganism for my Data Journalism module,
I was just wondering where to access the data published by Ipsos MORI? It would be of great help to my project,
Kind regards,
Claire
