Greater Manchester Humanists were founded in 1992 (though under a different name). We believe an earlier group was active in Manchester from the 1950s until the mid-1970s. We are affiliated to the British Humanist Association and the National Secular Society.

As Humanists, we are concerned with values and moral issues from a non-religious standpoint. Like many people in our largely secular society, we have done our best to work these out for ourselves, and are constantly re-assessing them in the light of changing circumstances. We are also actively concerned to apply our values and to work towards the achievement of a more open, just and caring society. Our meetings are open to all – membership is not required. We meet in central Manchester and Stockport. The Buxton group is in abeyance at present. See here for details of when and where we meet.

Introductory Course
We have developed an introductory course on Humanism – the course material can be viewed here. The 5th presentation was held in Autumn 2011 and we expect the next presentation to be held at Friends Meeting House in May – June 2012. Course fee: £16, reduced to £14 for early bird bookings.
