(Note: the brochure is designed to be printed double-sided in landscape format on a single sheet, flipped on the short side, and then folded twice to produce a 1/3 A4 leaflet. If using a printer that cannot print double-sided automatically, print the first page, then print the second page on the reverse side.)
Our History
Greater Manchester Humanists was founded in 1992 (though under a different name). We believe an earlier group was active in Manchester from the 1950s until the mid-1970s and we do know of a meeting in April 1965 of a group called Manchester Humanist Society. We are a Partner group of Humanists UK, affiliated to the National Secular Society and a member of the International Humanist & Ethical Union.
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. See here for details of when and where we meet.
We’re also on Facebook (see icon – top of page) and Meetup
