This is the original charity of choice for Browncoats everywhere - and so we'll always look to help Joss Whedon's favourite charity end violence and discrimination against girls and women worldwide. Scarily 1 in 3 women will be attacked in their lives and we know many people affected, so it's personally important too. Hey, if we help prevent even one tragic event, it will have been worth it. Plus we get to give support to an under-appreciated and under-funded organisation fighting the good fight against evils in the world. We love and donate to lots of other charities too of course when we can, but this one just seems to fit.

What do you mean you've only seen Serenity 18 times?! Heck, it gets even better after the 143rd viewing in our opinion! To help get closer to that elusive 143rd time, those hard working and dedicated peeps at CSTS have once again promised to promote seeing the movie SERENITY around the world in 2020, helping to raise muchos cashos for charity in the process. And this year, we're gonna support however we can - and you should too!
Check the website for all the details and marvel at the dedication and passion that lives in this Browncoat community. Us Fireflystore types will be heading down to an event near us or setting something up in SW England, but please try and support your local screening wherever you are in the 'Verse - there should be one near you.

Pretty much everyone has seen and heard about subscription boxes, but in case you've been under a mineral deposit on the planet Regina, here's the quick catch up... Subscription boxes usually give recipients a curated set of items on a regular basis, covering everything from shaving kit, snacks, toys and yep - geek fandoms. The Firefly Loot Crate from QMx has everything you'd expect from the team that have enthusiastically harvested the 'Verse for multiple merchandising goodness in recent times.
Approx every 2 months, a new crate is delivered, featuring exclusive figures (which are awesome), limited edition shirts, branded items and stuff that brings the world of Firefly even more to life. Oh, and there's a cool mini magazine too that really is shiny. We're in it for the long haul, but you can also order 1-off boxes to see if it's something you like. Personally, if you're an avid Browncoat, we think it's darn essential to check out the goodies on a regular basis. And, if you click via the link above - you get $5 off the first purchase. Boom.

If you've got a spare hour or so on a train, at home, in the car... do yourself a favour and invite Wendy to help fill the silence and boredom with something groovy. She was the driving force behind a much-loved UK Firefly and Serenity podcast with loads of friendly banter and entertaining chats. Somehow, Wendy and her fellow presenters still filled every edition with something new and different.
There were a gorram load of episodes made before Wendy decided to call it quits (for now) - and so be sure to check the archives for some really great stuff if you're a relative newcomer. And, you can always check out a particularly dodgy early interview with Firefly Store way (way) back in show #6! when it all started for us. Man, do we sound young!

Home to one of the best large convention organisations around. Especially known for their great and very late parties, with potential chances this year we're sure, to meet some of the cast and other Whedon alumni.

We've always been fans of adoption charities around the world, but certainly in the UK. And now, having taken the plunge and adopted 2 little Browncoats of our own here at Firefly Store HQ - we're keen to do even more to support those who do so much for children and their families. Old and new.
Adoption UK and Adopt a Better Way have both been great inspirations to us on our long (and painfully emotional journey) and continue to do great stuff for adoptive families - so feel free to read up on their work, spread the word and help us to continue saying thank you.

If you haven't heard of these guys and you live in the UK - where have you been, the outer planets?! Check out their website for loads of famous guests, lots of weekend events and hassle them for more Firefly guestage! And maybe we'll see you at one of their other signing events in London, Cardiff and elsewhere in the UK. Just remember to pre-book and save yourself the biggest stress of queuing for too long.

Fan-tastic documentary detailing the turbulent but always pleasurable relationship between Browncoats and Firefly, the show we hold so dear. More specifically, it celebrates the fact that Serenity was made into a movie against all the odds - and still totally rocked. And, even more cool, Nathan is wearing one of our shirts during the interviews!

Not a lot to say really, other than by purchasing our items and donating money, together we will beat the terrible universal disease called cancer.
