Exeter Humanists bring non-religious people together to be happier and more fulfilled and to be a force for good in our community.
We are a Local Group of Humanists UK. All Humanists UK members and supporters in the local area are automatically part of the group.
Exter Humanists aim to provide a range of activities for non-religious living in Exeter to meet, socialise, campaign, raise awareness of humanism, participate in local civic life and support each other. The Local Group represents Humanists UK and the local humanist community at public events and in public forums. Exeter Humanists is led by a team of volunteers that organises events and activities throughout the year.
