== Background ==
Veggies was set up in 1984 by seven animal rights activists who were frustrated at the lack of vegetarian fast food available at the time.〔Nottingham Trader, 12 December 1984〕 They began by selling veggieburgers to the public from a mobile stall, later also providing locally baked pasties and cakes, and other foods and drinks. The co-op has since gone on to provide both snacks and full cooked meals for many thousands of people at peace movement marches, animal rights demonstrations, festivals, protest camps and reclaim the streets events.〔(My Anti War ), 17 October 2005〕
From 1985, Veggies were based at the Rainbow Centre in Nottingham city. They later took on the day-to-day running of the centre.〔 In 2001 this relocated in to the Forest Fields area of the city and was renamed the Sumac Centre, part of the emerging UK Social Centre Network.
