Site Announcement: Launch of FanArt Section

5/7/2016

We are excited to present to you the site's newest feature: a fanart gallery.

Everyday, with this site, we try to work not only on promoting Philip’s career and projects but
also getting the fans involved. So we thought, seeing that this fandom is full of amazing and creative people, a fan art galery would be the best way to do this.

How does it work?
Everybody who contributes fanart will have a personalized folder, where only their stuff will be uploaded.

What can we see there?
Anything that is related to Philip. We accept drawings, painting, digital collages, gifs (& more) of Philip himself, or a character he has potrayed.

How do I get my stuff there?
To get your stuff uploaded we ask that you to send us an e-mail with the following:

mail subject: fanart donation
the media as an attachment or a link where we can download them from (allowed formats are .jpg, .png, .bmp .gif)
your desired name / username / nickname that you wish to be referred to as (you can decide to use your full name, or twitter handle, or facebook instagram pinterest tumblr name. Any you want!)
a link where we can credit you (twitter handle, facebook page, tumblr blog, instagram deviant art etc)

Is there any size requirement?
No. You can send any size you want. It’ll be resized on the site to fit the space, but your full image is uploaded and easy to see it in full size.

Anything else to know?
By sending your stuff you agree to the understanding that we cannot be held responsible for fanart stealing. We suggest that you tag your stuff, if you wish to. We will always give you full credit, but we cannot be held responsible for the actions of our visitors.

Charitable donation made to @MomentumCharity

25/11/2014

We are pleased to announce that, thanks to visitors to this site buying through our online shop (in partnership with Amazon), we have today made a donation of £50 to Momentum, a charity of which Philip is patron, that aims to help children undergoing treatment for cancer in Surrey and Greater London.

Click the image below to see their acknowledgement email.

On the Momentum donation page, it is possible to leave a comment when you make a donation. We indicated that the donation was made on behalf of Philip by visitors to this website. Unfortunately, this remark is not shown in the above acknowledgment.

We don't know who you are, but we wish to say a massive THANK YOU to all the fans who have made purchases from our fansite shop. Your support is greatly appreciated and we hope you will continue with this support in the days to come.

The funds sent included commissions on purchases made up until to the end of September 2014. At the time of writing (25th November) we have raised £16.90 towards our next donation but Amazon won't pay out until we hit £25, so please do support this venture, especially with regards to those last minute Christmas gifts! You can buy anything that is sold on Amazon - it doesn't have to be Phil-related. Just use the Amazon search box on the shop page.

To find out more about how these shopping links work, visit our Shop FAQs page. And if you struggle to remember to visit us before visiting Amazon directly, why not add our Shop URL to your favourites or bookmarks and label it as Amazon?

Donations made to Shooting Star Chase and Hospice Aid UK

9/3/2014

The results of our poll are in and as you can see from the image below, the final result was a two way tie. In light of this, we have split amount raised between Shooting Star Chase and Hospice Aid UK, resulting in them both having received a donation of £30. Donations were made this morning (9th March).

Unfortunately, on this occasion, due to the online systems used for donating, we were unable to relay to the respective charities that the money had come from fans of their patron, Philip Glenister. We will however be tweeting this article to both charities in that hope that they will see it and know how generous Philip's fans have been.

The money we raise comes from commission earned from Amazon whenever someone makes a purchase through the fansite shop. In the grand scheme of things, the commission earned is quite small compared to the total amount spent, so we urge you to shop through us wherever possible. You can buy anything that is sold on Amazon - it doesn't have to be Phil-related. Just use the Amazon search box on the shop page.

One-off donations can also be made through our GoFundMe page.

At the time of writing (9th March) we have raised £17.71 towards our next donation so, with your support it shouldn't be long until we hit the £25 threshold st by Amazon and are able to make another donation.

If you struggle to remember to use our shop, why not add the URL of the page to your favourites or bookmarks and label it as Amazon?

Thanks again for all your support!!

One year of PhilipGlenisterFans!

27/10/2013

Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us...

We know this post is a little late, as there's less than quarter an hour of the day left, but today we have been celebrating ONE YEAR of this fansite. We did have an online presence over on Tumblr for approximately 14 months prior to the launch of this new site, but the move enabled us to expand our work and become more flexible and user friendly.

Anyway, we just wanted to say an enormous thank you to our visitors and contributors for making our first year as a fully fledged site so wonderful and eventful! Without you guys this site would be no where near as amazing as it is.

As a thank you we have updated our 'Radio Projects' page with some additional audio and have added some new videos to the 'Other TV Shows' section, including Phil's episodes of The Bill and Drop the Dead Donkey. We hope you enjoy them.

It's been an amazing ride, and here's to many more years of PhilipGlenisterFans. Help yourself to cake (lol) and have a glass of "house rubbish" on us!

Website future secured!!

3/10/2013

Thanks to the success of our fundraising campaign, we can now confirm that the future of this website is secured for the next 2 years.

The generosity of the visitors to this site has been overwhelming for the admin team and we truly are grateful for your support.

In addition to securing web hosting for the next two years, we have also set up our own domain. This will give us a more professional image and will also allow more flexibility in what we do. This means we have a new URL:

http://www.philipglenisterfans.org.uk/

Please update your bookmarks/favourites to reflect this, but rest assured the old URL should still redirect here. If you have do experience any problems let us know.

There is a bit of money left over and we are still deciding what to do with this. If you feel you still wish to donate to the work of the site, you can do so on our go fund me page- it will be put to good use!!

First charitable donation made!!

30/9/2013

As you may be aware we have a partnership with Amazon.co.uk whereby we earn a small commission for every item purchased through our shop. (To find out more about how these shopping links work, visit our Shop FAQs page.)

Today we are pleased to announce that having received our first payment from Amazon, a charitable donation of £37 has been sent to Momentum, a charity of which Philip is a patron. This commission was raised from January to the end of July (there is always a delay of 2 months before payment) and was made on total sales of £733.22.

We don't know who you are, but we wish to say a big THANK YOU to all the fans who have made purchases from Amazon fansite shop. Your support is greatly appreciated and we hope you will continue with this support in the days to come.

Here is the e-mail acknowledgement of our donation (click image to view a larger version):

On the Moment-um donation page, it is possible to leave a comment when you make a donation. We indicated that the donation was made on behalf of Philip by visitors to this website. Unfortunately, this remark is not shown in the acknowledgement issued.

Momentum is a registered charity established in 2004 which aims to help children (up to the age of 17) and the families of children, undergoing treatment for cancer in Surrey and Greater London. It was set up by parents who have first hand experience of these life-changing events, with the simple goal of trying to help others in similar circumstances.

We will continue to make donations to charities supported by Philip as and when we receive payment from Amazon (when we accumulate at least £25 commission).

As you can see from the above figures the commission earned is quite small compared to the total amount spent, so we urge you to shop through the fansite wherever possible. You can buy anything that is sold on Amazon - it doesn't have to be Phil-related. Just use the Amazon search box on the shop page. At the time of writing (30th September) we have raised £6.60 towards our next donation but Amazon won't pay out until we hit £25, so please do support this venture, especially as it approaches time to think about Christmas shopping.

If you struggle to remember, why not add our Shop URL to your favourites or bookmarks and label it as Amazon?

Thanks again for all your support!!
