Obituaries of Humanists UK Patrons

Humanists UK has been supported in its work by an extensive list of patrons who lent their association and public profile to the humanist cause in a variety of ways. Some were appointed as patrons for their specific contributions to human rights, equality, and justice; others for contributions to humanist philosophy; and some for artistic achievements which have helped to shed light on the human condition. Many others were recognised for specific work in science, or journalism, or furthering human welfare.

The patrons below were all individuals with unique and varying opinions, points of view, and stances on many issues, and naturally they didn’t speak for Humanists UK on every subject where they had opinions. What they had in common was their public support for Humanists UK, our advocacy work, our services, and our campaigns. Collectively they showcased the diversity of humanist thinking, and humanist achievement, in public life.
