Charity Events

Organised Science Fiction groups and individuals across the UK help to raise much needed funds for charity. There are many ways to do this, such as organising specific Sci-Fi events or helping to publicise someone else's event or library/school activity. Below is a gallery of photos/events where David has helped raise funds.

Corsham Sci-Fi charity event April 2010

The second annual Sci-Fi event on 17 April 2010 was an outstanding success and raised over £4,000 for worthy causes. All those involved gave their time and skill for free. The charities that benefitted were the British Heart Foundation, Marie Curie Cancer Care and PHAB.

Guests and fans came from all over the UK and even overseas. David Johnson held "open-house" writing workshops and story-telling sessions and gave away copies of his latest book as prozes throughout the day. The organisers also auctioned a signed set of his Crystal Quest books, which raised £55. (These were advance copies, prior to the official launch at the Earls Court London Book Fair on 19 April 2010!)
