Help us fight for
Secularism in Leicester
Leicester is a frontline city - the country's most diverse city - with a determined and ambitious Bishop to deal with.
Leicester also boasts the world's first purpose-built Secular Hall dating from 1881.
We are making a big effort:
- Weekly talks and events
- Leicester Secularist - our monthly journal
- Comprehensive website - Home Page
- Local campaigning
- Membership increasing
- £2½m programme to regenerate the Hall *
We need all the help we can get to raise money, increase membership and boost our impact in this crucial city.

Most of the money would come from the Heritage Lottery Fund and similar bodies, but the project will also call for money, time and effort from the Society . We have just completed a £30,000 feasibility study, paid for by HLF, and are now considering w hether to go ahead with the next application.
From Jeremy Fenn, Senior Grants Officer, HLF:
"A project to repair and conserve this building, whilst increasing audiences, could have excellent potential for meeting HLF's priorities and providing nationally important heritage benefits ... The Society is a very interesting group with an important building and history, and we want to make sure we can help give your application the best chance of success."
