Hey there, amazing people!

I'm Tasha, the face behind The Vegan Patty Lady, a small but mighty business that has been bringing delicious and healthy vegan Jamaican patties to the wonderful UK public.

I wanted to give you all an update since I launched the Go Fund Me originally in April to let you know how much progress we've made!

But just in case you're new here, let me tell you the whole story. So a year ago, I tried making a vegan beef curry patty because I had been missing it so much since becoming vegan 4 years prior! After sharing it on my Whatsapp status the curiosity and the interest told me there was definitely a demand for a product like this and through my research I realised it didn't actually exist!

So, I embarked on a journey to share my passion for tasty vegan food for those missing their Jamaican meaty favourites and it's been an incredible ride so far! Thanks to folks like you, we've seen our dream grow faster than we ever imagined!

Now some of you may know that 4 months after starting to make these patties, millionaire Simon Squibb invested £5k into the business and between my hubby and a few other generous friends and family, a further £10k was invested, giving us a total of £15k!! 

We used that money to purchase essential equipment to produce and store patties in bulk and in just 4 months after the initial investment, we've managed to get our patties into 7 fabulous locations around London and also in Reading, and guess what? We've sold over 9,000 patties! Yes, you heard it right. It turns out there's a huge appetite for vegan food that doesn't compromise on taste or health, and we're here to satisfy that craving.

When we initially launched our fundraiser, we needed £40k and you guys kindly invested £4K - thank you so much! We then went on to get £20K investment from the Forbes Family Group in June 2024, which has helped us immensely with our target!!

So now we effectively only need £16K to help us to get to our target goal and we know we can do it with your help!

We want to bring The Vegan Patty Lady's delights to every corner of the UK, making our tasty treats accessible to everyone, no matter where they are. Larger stores are showing an interest and we need to get ready to be able to meet that demand!

This is where you come in! We're at a crucial point in our journey, and to take our dream to the next level, we need a little help from our friends. We know that this is just the beginning of our journey and in months to come as we grow, other needs may arise but right this moment this is what we need.

We're looking to:-

  • rebrand our packaging to make it more on-brand even more irresistible and to (DONE - thanks to you!)
  • order and store enough boxes to fulfill larger orders (DONE - thanks to you!)
  • Secure another essential piece of kitchen kit (STILL NEED YOUR HELP)
  • Plus, we need to commission the extra labour and kitchen time that'll help us make this expansion a reality. (STILL NEED YOUR HELP)

We just need £16K to achieve our goal to help us bring The Vegan Patty Lady to more stores across the UK. It's not just about growing our business; it's about giving even more people the opportunity to get the option of enjoying healthy, tasty, vegan food at a location near them!

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us a step closer to our dream. And hey, it's not just a donation - it's an investment in a healthier, happier, and more sustainable future.

So, are you with us? Let's make this dream a reality and show the world that vegan food is here to stay - and it's delicious!

With all my gratitude and excitement,

Tasha aka The Vegan Patty Lady
