The Science Fiction Foundation (Registered Charity No. 1041052) was founded in 1970 by the writer/social activist George Hay and others as a semi-autonomous association of writers, academics, critics and others with an active interest in science fiction, with Arthur C.

After the loss of Arthur C Clarke two new patrons have replaced him: Neil Gaiman (author) and and Professor David Southwood (one of Europe's leading space scientists)
