21.01.2022 Hey folks, Many kind people have offered that we keep their ticket money to offset money lost from cancelling the Perth Vegan Expo. However we need to refund all ticket holders in order to cancel the event via Eventbrite (Difficulties with Eventbrite have still not been resolved, I am awaiting guidance from the US department.) ... Sadly we have incurred quite substantial losses, with non-refundable deposits, non-refundable presenter flights and sunken costs from advertising and printing. Usually these would be covered by stall fees, ticket fees, donations and sale of merchandise on the day but with no idea of if, or when we could reschedule we have been left with quite a deficit. In light of this, we ask anyone who would still like to support the Perth Vegan Expo and ensure the security of future events, if at all possible, please donate to our gofundme. Thank you to everyone, your support is so greatly appreciated https://www.gofundme.com/f/perth-vegan-expo-loss-recovery

After... an entire year without speaking, he ended his vow on Australian national television with an interview that reached tens of millions of people and inspired many to make more conscious and compassionate lifestyle choices. This cemented him as a charismatic new force in the fight for the ethical treatment of animals. Ranked #3 among the Top 25 Most Influential Vegans by Plant Based News, James has gone on to cycle 5000kms across Australia to prove that vegans can be fit & healthy. He got tattooed for 25 hours straight to raise $20,000 for charity.

11.01.2022 MJ was due to join us at the Perth Vegan Expo for a morning yoga session, instead here is a little message from her that we hope will help those who need it right now. 'My heart goes out to everyone in the difficult & uncertain times we are facing. There is a lot of fear going on around the world. More than ever we need to support one another, love and be compassionate.... If you have been made redundant, find yourself with more time on your hands and see this as an opportunity to return to an old hobby, or a new idea has sparked inside you. A time to create and do something youve always wanted to do but may not have had the time to before or youve been too afraid to. I invite you to my new FREE 4-week online group. The light in darkness (Conscious Creators). Where I will be posting short yoga (get you moving physically and get the energy flowing) & meditation (stillness practice to allow you to tap into your intuition and heart away from the mind/ego) videos. There will be a weekly live group coaching/mentoring session to keep you inspired and connected with a community of like-minded people. Registration to the group closes Sunday 4/4/20 4pm. The link to join is down below: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1638064183019031/ Lets get creating & be the light in darkness x'

11.01.2022 Just to keep folks updated.

I will keep checking to ensure I can refund you all as soon as possible.... EDIT: Latest from Eventbrite, many people are facing refund issues and it will take a while for them to resolve issues as explained below by customer support.

I am doing my very best to resolve and refund all parties as promptly as possible. Huge thanks to all those who have donated to our gofundme or been in touch to offer kind words of support. I am so grateful, and I hope I can bring you a wonderful event to celebrate once all of this is over. Thank you for your patience. -Emma
