Volunteer role: Pride Ambassador in Worcester
(Around 2 hours per week)
LGBT+ Humanists is the LGBT+ section of Humanists UK. We are LGBT+ people who support humanist values and we are humanists who support LGBT+ rights. We promote humanism and LGBT+ equality, working to combat prejudice and discrimination against humanists and LGBT+ people.
We are looking for a Pride Ambassador in Worcester, to join our developing network of Pride Ambassadors across the country. You will work with the Local Group, Worcester Humanists to make sure that LGBT+ Humanists are represented in Pride events in your area. As a national organisation, it is vital that our cause and our ethos reach as many areas and people as possible, so that the LGBT+ community will suffer less prejudice and discrimination in times to come.
LGBT+ Humanists are looking for enthusiastic, driven, and organised individuals, to attend Pride near you, and rally other humanists to come and support. We will help you to work with your local group, Worcester Humanists, to build contacts and find support in your area.
Take a look at the general role description and person specification 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.
You can find our Recruitment and Promotion and Equal Opportunities policies via the Careers Menu or at the foot of our main Opportunities Page.

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.
