Quotes from FAN Club supporters on why they joined…
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!’
