Humanist Memorial Event

POSTPONED due to revised government pandemic guidance.

New date to be announced.

St. Mary's Creative Space,
St. Mary's Hill,
Chester

Many people have suffered bereavement during the Pandemic and the restrictions have limited the opportunity to fully acknowledge what has happened and to grieve. Others have been affected in different ways as a result of the limits on social interaction and the fear and anxiety. This ceremony – with words, symbolic acts and music seeks to offer a much needed opportunity for us to come together and support each other as we take stock and look to the future

Campaigning

Chester Humanists will campaign and lobby on behalf of the non-religious as well as for freedom of religion, belief, speech, thought, and expression more generally.

We work for an open society and a secular state with no religious privilege or discrimination based on religion or belief.

We also campaign for a rational approach to public ethical issues in order to contribute to a public life where decisions are made on evidence rather than on the basis of irrational beliefs or religious doctrines. The campaigns we engage in are driven by interest from our members.
