Celebrate 44 FAB years of the world’s only Official Gerry And Sylvia Anderson Appreciation Society!
On 20th August 1981, Gerry Anderson invited fans to his office at Pinewood Studios, to meet with representatives of ITV with the aim of setting up the world’s only official appreciation society for his work. Over the next 20 days, you can celebrate our 44 years together and raise funds for our charity of the year.
Fanderson members have an amazing track record for raising money for good causes. You’ve dug deep and over £60,000 has been donated to a variety of good causes, including Actors’ Benevolent Fund, Alzheimers Society, Baby Lifeline, Children In Need, Diabetes UK, The Film And TV Charity, Guide Dogs, Hearing Dogs For Deaf People, Macmillan Cancer Support, Orchid, The Silver Line, Terrence Higgins Trust, Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Appeal and many more.
Every day we’ll have two special offers for club members – an auction and either a raffle or another auction – and by being part of it you’ll be helping people in need. We’ll be raising vital funds for our 2025 charity – Demelza – chosen by club members to help children with cancer (and their families).
As usual, we’ve checked our storage units, cupboards (even down the back of the sofa!) and club members have donated items so that we’ve got some great goodies to share. We’re particularly very thankful to Najmie Allette, Stephen Brown, Catherine Ford, Sally Ground, Maggy Harris, Simon Harris, Lynn Simpson and Tom Wingate for their generous donations.
- Auctions – we aim to update this page daily with the highest bid, so that you may submit an increased bid (if you want)
- Raffles – the price of each raffle ticket is shown when you view the product, and you can buy as many tickets as you like
Don’t forget that we have a couple of items available in return for a donation to our charity too. If you have something that you’d like to donate for our future fundraising efforts, please get in touch at fanderson.org.uk@outlook.com with details.
Finally, don’t forget that we’ll be choosing a new charity soon for 2025/6, so let us know of organisations you’d like Fanderson members to consider for support.
