So, what is the FAN Club?
Joining the FAN Club (Fundraising & Activist Network) is a way to make regular donations to People & Planet. The FAN Club helps us
- run effective campaigns on human rights, world poverty and the environment
- be independent rather than answerable to external funding bodies
- make long term campaign plans in the knowledge of a regular income
- be democratic and answerable to our network
- be responsive to the needs of the network and changing political context
The FAN Club is is for everyone who supports our work: current members of P&P Groups, teachers, lecturers, parents and ex P&P or Third World First group members.
All you need do is make a minimum monthly contribution of £2 (less than the cost of a pint!).
Campaigning is the most cost effective way to bring about lasting social change so your money will be put to good use.
What’s in it for me?
We will keep you up to date with our campaigns and news of groups’ activities through our twice-yearly FAN Club newsletter.
We will tell you about opportunities for activism, great if you are no longer part of a P&P group.
If you are a member of a P&P group you will benefit from a more independent and democratic P&P which can work on the issues you care about.
All that, plus the knowledge that you are supporting People & Planet’s vital work!
Join today and we will send you the latest edition of the FAN Club newsletter. Joining is safe, secure and easy!
Leaving Uni this year? You don’t have to leave P&P too!
By joining the FAN Club you can stay in touch with P&P and hear about what your old group is up too. You can carry on being an activist even if you’re not on campus.

Why people have joined the FAN CLUB
Hilary says
‘I want to support P&P’s exciting work with students- I think P&P really achieves change by challenging students and young people to hold politicians, businesses etc. to account. But I know it must cost money to produce resources and students and sixth formers probably don’t have much of that to give.’
Joe says
‘I had such a great time with my University group, campaigning on so many topics, that after I left University I wanted to continue to support People & Planet. When I heard they had set up the FAN Club I joined up straight away’.
Claire says
‘I visited the People & Planet website trying to find some information on Fairtrade. I love the work People & Planet do, so I decided to make a donation by joining the FAN Club’.
Leon says
‘The network’s Support Office has always supported our group, from giving facilitation workshops to organising events such as the AMAZING Shared Planet as well as always being at the end of an email when we need to sound off or moan about our SU (sound familiar?!).’
They have helped us encourage more members, become dynamic and self-sufficient; They have provided numerous materials for campaigning and getting our group noticed on and off campus as well as the research that has got us up to speed and confident to take on corporations and our MPs (Brown and Blair included- Oh Yes!).’
‘Through the Network Emails and Action Updates we are encouraged to take on campaigns that we would have never thought about otherwise and would not have had the confidence and network of friends that P&P opens up… through these we can contact 10,000 students in over 50 universities!’
‘We have had great campaigns in the past with successes against E$$O’s Uni tour and getting Pepsi Cola out of Burma (organisations with budgets shadowing nations) and if I can help effect this change by donating £2/3 a month to the network I think its a small price to pay!’
