Volunteer Events Lead for LGBT Humanists
Voluntary role (Around 2 hours a week)
LGBT Humanists promotes humanism and LGBT equality, working to combat prejudice and discrimination against humanists and LGBT people.
We were first founded in 1979 in response to the Gay News blasphemy trial, and we’ve blazed a trail arguing for LGBT liberation by challenging religious homophobia and standing up to religious opposition to LGBT rights. From equalising the age of consent, and campaigning for same-sex marriage and more recent campaigns to ban the horrific practice of ‘conversion therapy’, our members have always been on the right side of history.
We’re a volunteer-led section of Humanists UK and entirely funded by supporter donations.
We are seeking a dedicated and driven Events Lead to join our Committee, to assist in delivering the activities of LGBT Humanists.
Take a look at the full role description and person specification here to help you decide whether the role is right for you, including what you would get out of the role and what we expect you would bring to the role.
Whatever your background, or prior experiences, if you’re passionate about promoting humanism and LGBT equality we’d love to hear from you.
We actively encourage applications from all sections of our community. We particularly welcome applicants from groups currently under-represented among section volunteers and leaders; these would include individuals who identify as female, disabled, trans or from the global majority.

About Humanists UK
We started out in 1896, and since then we’ve always been a growing movement at the forefront of social change. Today we’re trusted by over 120,000 members and supporters and over 70 local and special interest affiliates to promote humanism.
We put humanism into practice through effective campaigning and services, supporting lasting change for happier, more fulfilling lives. Our policies are informed with the support of over 150 of the UK’s most prominent philosophers, scientists, and other thinkers and experts and we seek to advance them with the help of over 100 parliamentarians in membership of the All Party Parliamentary Humanist Group. We bring like-minded people together to make change happen, and we strive to be their voice in public debate, drawing on contemporary humanist thought and the worldwide humanist tradition.
We’ve been conducting non-religious funerals, weddings, and baby-namings for 120 years. Our highly trained celebrants are the best you’ll find anywhere, and they support individuals to create authentic, bespoke ceremonies that put people and their stories at the heart of every occasion.
We also help vulnerable people easily access like-minded and effective non-religious pastoral support that is specially tailored to work for them. Our trained and accredited non-religious pastoral support volunteers operate across hospitals, prisons, and the armed forces.
