Brighton and Hove Humanist Society

Local Organisations:
The Sussex University Secular Society meets during term time at the University of Sussex. Anyone with a scientific outlook would probably enjoy Cafe Scientifique - “a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology”. Similarly, Philosophy in Pubs, “a group of like-minded people searching for philosophical stimulation in a relaxed atmosphere” comes highly recommended, as does Brighton's branch of Skeptics in the Pub.

Other groups nearby: The Mid Sussex Freethinkers

The National Secular Society works both in the UK and in Europe to combat the influence of religion on governments. It wants to ensure that Human Rights always come before religious rights, and it fights the massive exemptions religious bodies demand - and are sometimes granted - from discrimination laws that everyone else is subject to. Every privilege has its victims.

The Gay And Lesbian Humanist Association (GALHA) promotes Humanism and LGBT equality, working to combat prejudice and discrimination against humanists and lesbians and gay men.

The British Humanist Association provides help and information to all those interested in a humanist wedding, child-naming or funeral ceremony. The B.H.A.’s website also contains a brief outline of the humanist tradition.

Camp Quest UK runs a series of secular summer camps for children aged 9-16. As well as the more traditional outdoor activities – canoeing, climbing, zip wire, high ropes – our enthusiastic and knowledgeable counsellors will lead the children on a variety of activities which could concern anything from critical thinking and logical fallacies, to the scientific method and pseudoscience, philosophy, ethics, evolution and psychology!
