Our next meet-up and social in Newcastle is: Thursday 23rd July starting 7pm at the Lit and Phil (arrive from 6:45pm).  At this meeting, NEH members, trustees and supporters will talk about those people who we admire (perhaps our heroes), why we admire them and the lessons we can learn from them. We will also hear about some Humanist heroes and discuss what makes someone admirable or heroic. Click here for more details.

Our Newcastle Sunday Breakfast for this month will take place Sunday 26th July at The Five Swans in Newcastle, 14 St. Mary’s Place, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, NE1 7PG meeting at around 10:15am.  For more details click here.

For our summer gathering, members and guests are invited to join us at Crook Hall Gardens in Durham on Saturday July 4th for a social meet-up and lunch. The gardens are owned by the National Trust so there is an entrance fee for non-members of the National Trust. The café is separate and entrance is free. There is no meet-up time for viewing the gardens but we will be getting together for a snack at midday in the cafe. For more details click here.
 
Our Durham secular salon is taking a break for July and August but will be back again with the next meeting in September.

Hi!  Thanks for visiting our website.  

We are North East Humanists.

Maybe you have heard about Humanism and wish to find out more about it, or maybe you are a Humanist and are thinking of joining us and becoming involved in the things we do.

Whatever the reason for your visit to our website, you can find out more about Humanism and about North East Humanists and what we do by looking through this site. 

But as a starter some key points of Humanist belief and about North East Humanists are given below. There is also a link to a video setting out our core Humanist beliefs.

- We’re a community of people who aspire to a fair, balanced, ethical and democratic society whose members take responsibility for their own actions and care for others.

- We believe that human experience and rational thinking provide the only source of both knowledge and a moral code to live by.

- We do not believe in gods or supernatural beings. 

- We reject the idea of knowledge 'revealed' to human beings by gods, or in special books.

- We believe that we only have one life, and that while we’re here we should strive to enjoy well-being, be happy and improve the world we live in.


Our core Humanist beliefs are set out in a video you can access at this link here.

As I say, on this site, you can find lots of details about who we are, what Humanism is, what activities we organise, and how you can join in.

Check out our monthly bulletin, and please consider a membership for as little as £10 per year.

Your support for Humanist organisations enable so much more than you might have guessed. Have a look around to see for yourself and be sure to contact us with any questions.
