Volunteer Apostate Event Organiser

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Faith to Faithless, Humanists UK’s support programme for so-called ‘apostates’. We’re expanding our in-person events across England and Wales, and we’re looking for passionate volunteers to help us make a difference. We currently have regular events in Manchester, Sheffield, Leicester/Peterborough, Bournemouth, and London and we are looking to expand this to the Midlands, Wales, and beyond. You can positively impact lives and help create a more inclusive society. Join us today and be part of the change!

The Faith to Faithless service is led by apostates themselves, who have knowledge and experiences of apostate communities facing serious and systemic issues. These issues range from emotional and physical abuse from family members, friends, and peers in their community through homelessness, shunning, ‘honour-based’ abuse, and systemic failures by statutory organisations to support apostates.

Faith to Faithless engages in several activities, over three main areas of work:

1. We provide a platform for apostate voices to be heard, and raise awareness of the issues they face so that others don’t suffer in the same ways, ensuring we have built trust within the apostate community. We do this both online, through our dedicated website, and through speaker events that are open to the public.
2. We provide an apostate support programme through facilitated peer support groups and other ‘meet-ups’.
3. We train statutory and support organisations like police, social services, and mental health organisations to better understand the issues apostates face, and the sorts of policy and practice implications this might have for the organisation.

Our work has brought us into contact with tens of thousands of apostates, and we have been able to directly support over a thousand since the dedicated programme started.
