Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Faith to Faithless, Humanists UK’s support programme for individuals who have left high-control religions. We are expanding our in-person events across England and Wales and are seeking passionate volunteers to help us make a difference. Currently, we have regular events in Manchester and elsewhere in the UK, and we aim to expand our offerings. Volunteers will support our Apostate Event Organisers in running monthly or bi-monthly events.
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 who have personal knowledge and experience of facing serious and systemic issues within apostate communities. These issues include emotional and physical abuse from family, friends, and community members, as well as homelessness, shunning, ‘honour-based’ abuse, and systemic failures by statutory organizations to support apostates.
Our work focuses on three main areas:
* Providing a platform for apostate voices to be heard, raising awareness of the issues they face, and building trust within the community. We do this through our website and public speaker events.
* Offering an apostate support programme through facilitated peer support groups and meet-ups.
* Training statutory and support organizations such as police, social services, and mental health providers to better understand the issues faced by apostates and the implications for their policies and practices.
Since starting the dedicated programme, we have supported over a thousand individuals and reached tens of thousands through our advocacy.

Our Recruitment, Promotion, and Equal Opportunities policies are available on our Careers Menu or at the bottom of our Opportunities page.
This role requires volunteers to be based in London and to have lived experience of leaving a high-control religion. We especially welcome individuals who have left Christian denominations, such as Jehovah’s Witnesses or Evangelical Christians, to ensure our volunteers reflect the diversity of our service users.
