Humanists UK – How It’s Making a Difference for Humanists

by | Sep 1, 2023

Humanists UK works tirelessly to change UK public policy and laws where these adversely affect the non-religious. Richy Thompson is their Director of Public Affairs. He’s a member of the steering groups of Voice for Choice and the Assisted Dying Coalition, the Accord Coalition for inclusive education, and humanist representative and Vice Chair of Lambeth Standing Advisory Council on RE.

Richy will discuss the lobbying and campaigning Humanists UK does on behalf of Humanists in the UK, highlighting past successes and current challenges.

Come along, or Zoom in, to:

  • Learn the range of policy issues Humanists UK works on
  • Quiz Richy about the chosen policy areas and campaigns
  • Find out what Reading Humanists can do to help.

Richy has proven himself a formidable campaigner, achieving widespread media coverage and significant policy change. He’s a great champion of Humanism in action.
