About

Firie - (Fai·uh) is derived from the Scottish word ‘feire,’ meaning friend, and the word ‘fire,’ a light to help guide people from the dark. Firie is dedicated to promoting social change through its range of alcohol-free cider. by shaking up the typical social behaviours within the drinking environment.

Firie cider adds in gameplay to help people connect and keep conversations going. This drink was made to help promote safe drinking practices for younger audiences and to reduce alcohol dependency, creating safe spaces within the pub or at home, using game play and the idea of sharing and creating your own stories without the need for alcohol.

I have also made a document to help share the joy of birds in nature. Celebrating moving stories that people have had with these amazing creatures and the little fun facts that will deepen your understanding. The book itself it made in a way that is easy to carry so you can track your adventures and the birds you meet along the way.
