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.

We’ll be finalizing the amount we’ll be donating to Demelza at the end of November. In the meantime, you can add to the total by buying one of our charity donation items.

Finally, there’s still time to nominate a charity that you’d like us to support in 2025/6.

[UPDATED] Space and Earth-based adventures in July’s FAB offer

Posted on by Parker

UPDATED 1st August 2025: As we’re busy with our 44 FAB Years promotion, this offer’s been extended throughout August too!

Space and Earth-based adventures in July’s great offer on the club’s FAB magazine.

Although a large number of members have been with Fanderson for years, and so may have received FAB as part of their membership package, there’s a significant number who have joined since. To encourage that latter group to take a punt on ordering some copies, we’ve got a series of monthly discounts focussed on a specific series. For June, we’ve got a wide spectrum of articles featuring Doppelgänger, The Protectors and Terrahawks.

Thanks to our monthly offers, more members are discovering FAB magazine and telling us “It’s an amazing magazine” or “I never knew how much there is in each issue”. Since we started these monthly offers in January, quite a few issues have sold through. Get your order in now as stock on many issues is quite low – don’t miss out!

Buy any five or more issues of FAB magazine that contain Doppelgänger, The Protectors or Terrahawks content (conveniently, you can see them all by clicking here, here and here) in one transaction, apply the coupon code FAB-JULY-MIX at checkout, and you’ll get a whopping 50% off those issues.
