Who We Are
We are a group of people who meet to discuss a
wide range of topics – philosophical, moral, social,
political, scientific – and who work together to
promote humanist ideas and values.
We often have a speaker, and we meet about once a
month, in a variety of venues. More information
about our meetings can be found in the
Events calendar.
In addition, we arrange social events and are
involved in raising money for charitable causes.
The group was founded in the 1960s, and is part of a
network of autonomous humanist groups throughout
Britain that are affiliated to the
British Humanist Association (BHA), the national
charity that supports and represents people who seek
to live good lives without religious or
superstitious beliefs. The BHA is in turn an
influential member of the
International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU).
So by joining Birmingham Humanists you become part
of a worldwide movement. However, as we are a
separate organisation, not a branch of the BHA, we
would strongly urge you to join the BHA as well as
our group, to increase the strength of numbers.
To find out more about Humanism, and about our
group, look at copies of our
newsletter or come
along to one of our meetings – see the
Events calendar.
