THE FAN CHARITY
The FAN Charity provides information about setting up a FAN Group and provides the simple but important structure for running FAN Meetings. All FAN Groups are independent but we list them on our website and PR if they run according to the principles of the FAN Charity. All attendees and friendly people are welcome to attend different Groups.
