About Us
Hello and a BIG welcome to the Robbie Williams Fanfest webstore!
Our aim is simple, to raise much needed funds for The Douglas MacMillan Children’s Hospice in Stoke on Trent, which for the last 20 years has simply been known to every Robbie fan as “the Donna Louise.” The charities merged in 2021.
All profits from this webstore will be donated to the Douglas Macmillan Hospice via our Just Giving page.
For families facing the heart-breaking knowledge that they will almost certainly outlive their child; the Dougie Mac provide specialist care and support services for children with life-limiting conditions, due to illness or injury, from birth until they no longer need their care.
The children’s hospice is designed to provide a safe, home-from-home environment for the children, young people and the families they support. They never turn anyone away.
It’s the most incredible place, full of laughter and joy in everything they do for the most incredible children and their families. These are families who are facing the hardest heartbreak, whilst also wanting to make every memory and every precious moment count.
We started fundraising for the Donna Louise in 2014 to celebrate Robbie’s 40th birthday. Following a city-wide party and Weekender which raised £20,000, with two separate exhibitions of art and memorabilia along with our award winning “Robbie Tourist Trail” which bussed fans all over Stoke in February 2014, we just kept going with our fundraising!
Three further RWFanfest Weekenders held in 2015, 2016 and 2018 in Stoke on Trent were amazing events and all of you as Robbie’s fans, have now helped us to continue our fundraising online!
Using our Facebook page Robbie Williams Fanfest as the Team RWFanfest HQ, we work really hard with our amazing admins to bring you all the latest Robbie news, photos and updates we can - whilst also creating and running a wide range of fundraisers throughout the year.
Past events have included raffles for tickets for sold out events including the Royal Albert Hall and the Port Vale Homecoming Gig!
Our Upfront online auctions of rare Robbie memorabilia have featured signed Gold and Platinum disks and industry awards as well as clothing all personally gifted and donated by Robbie himself! We design our own Robbie inspired merchandise, clothing ranges and calendars. We’ve even raffled a meet and greet with Robbie in Las Vegas!
We’ve held team sponsored events and have climbed Mount Snowdon at night and between us have walked one and as half times around the World, with our awesome team “The 74” who completed the Million Steps sponsored challenges in 2020 and 2021 raising a PHENOMENAL £40,000 as a team!
Through partnerships with other Robbie fan groups we will continue to take our fundraising all around the world.
Each year, we have an ambitious fundraising plan and our sights are firmly set on hitting £200K in fundraising and MORE!
As of October 2023 we have raised £176,500 for the charity.
But of course, we need YOUR help to do this. In return for your support, we can offer you a lively online Robbie community through our Facebook page and group, bringing you all the latest Robbie news, videos and photos.
You can get involved in fun exclusive activities (including team sponsored events) and you will be the FIRST to see our LIMITED EDITION merchandise and EXCLUSIVE Robbie Williams memorabilia up for grabs!
We’ve come a long way in almost a decade of fundraising and running the page, but none of this would EVER work without your incredible generosity and support!
You won't find anything like Robbie Williams Fanfest anywhere else! So if you love all things Robbie and you want to help support our fundraising? There's never been a better time to #JumpOnBoard!
Happy shopping!
Thank you all.
Much Iove
Team RWFanfest
