The Good Thinking Society is a small charity, aimed at encouraging rational thought and skeptical enquiry. In order support our activities science writer Simon Singh will be undertaking a series of fundraising lectures. His goal is to raise £20,000 before the end of 2015.

Simon Singh, who founded Good Thinking, is an international bestselling science writer, whose books include
:
- Fermat’s Last Theorem – the story of the world’s most notorious maths problem.
