Comedian Dave Hughes has announced on NOVA that he's having a crack at going dairy-free.

This is great news for calves! Why? Because, every year, nearly 700,000 'unwanted' dairy calves are taken from their mothers and killed at less than a week of age... just so that humans can drink their mother’s milk :(

With so many great dairy-free options out there now, ditching dairy is super easy. But it can seem like a big deal at first. So help us give Hughesy a helping hoof!

If you have a top tip for going dairy-free or have a favourite dairy-free recipe then share it with Dave today! Or you can just send him a message of support. Here’s how to get in touch with Hughesy:

• Post on his Facebook page.
• Post on NOVA 100’s Facebook page.
• Send him a tweet @DHughesy. (You might like to use #HughesyandKate or #Hugsy4Hughesy).
