In September 2025, the UK capital welcomed the launch of the Vegan Women’s Club, a pioneering community co-founded by award-winning vegan public relations expert Karin Ridgers and model and activist Victoria Featherstone Pearce. The Club has partnered with Rant + Rave (R+R) and the 45 London (formerly known as Blue Marlin Ibiza London), which will serve as the movement’s vibrant new headquarters in Shoreditch, London.
The Vegan Women’s Club aims to connect, empower, and inspire women who adopt a vegan lifestyle, offering a platform for shared growth and collaboration. Through curated events, networking opportunities, and partnerships with ethical brands, the Club aims to cultivate a space where its members can flourish both personally and professionally, in harmony with their values.
Many women active in the movement have emphasised the need for spaces dedicated to leadership and support based on the ethics of compassion and justice.
45 London, located within Virgin Hotels Shoreditch, will act as the physical hub for the Club. Known for its stylish co-working areas, rooftop restaurant, spa, and lounge steeped in music culture, the venue offers an inspiring setting for gatherings, social initiatives, and educational events promoting ethical progress.
Karin Ridgers said, “We have spent years building businesses that showcase vegan voices. Now, with the Vegan Women’s Club, we are creating a space where women can feel supported, celebrated, and connected. Partnering with R+R and 45 London gives us the perfect hub to make this vision a reality.”
Victoria Featherstone Pearce added, “Vegan women are at the forefront of so much positive change, from business and culture to animal rights and sustainability. This club is about amplifying those voices in a space that inspires and empowers.”
Atem Mbeboh, Founder of Rant + Rave, explained, “At R+R, we believe in building communities, not just audiences. Partnering with the Vegan Women’s Club and 45 London reflects our mission to create meaningful spaces where ideas and culture thrive.”
The Vegan Women’s Club now invites interested vegan women to join its growing community.
