Think for yourself, act for everyone

At Humanists UK, we want a tolerant world where rational thinking and kindness prevail. We work to support lasting change for a better society, championing ideas for the one life we have.

We do this because we’re humanists: people who shape our own lives in the here and now, because we believe it’s the only life we get. Our work helps people be happier and more fulfilled, and by bringing non-religious people together, we help them develop their own views and an understanding of the world around them.

We’re committed to putting humanism into practice. Through our ceremonies, pastoral support, education services, and campaigning work, we advance free thinking and freedom of choice so everyone can live in a fair and equal society.

Workplace and culture

Our driving force has been, and always will be, our people. Our staff, volunteers, consultants, celebrants, and all those who work under our banner: it is through their efforts that we will realise our collective dream of a better world.

We strive to make sure everyone can excel in their roles, supported by a community of happy and productive Humanists UK people who are helpful, curious, broadminded, honest, and who treat each other fairly and with respect.

Volunteer with us!

At Humanists UK, we value the contributions of our volunteers greatly.

We offer a wide range of volunteer opportunities. Whether helping in our office, taking on a leadership role in one of our regional local groups, providing support as a pastoral carer in prisons or hospitals, or in one of the many other roles we offer, volunteers are vital in advancing our mission. We strive to provide a positive and fulfilling volunteer experience for all.

Our volunteers come from diverse backgrounds, including retirees, students, parents, small business owners, and professionals who wish to offer pro bono support. Whether you are looking to meet fellow humanists, want to support our work directly, or are looking to build your own work experience, we would love to hear from you, and welcome you to join our team.
