Donation Form

Many supporters of BH say they donate simply for the good of the community, rather than to please a deity or secure a place in heaven. They believe in kindness, generosity, and decency for their own sake.

Our supporters often quote the American author and satirist Kurt Vonnegut (1922-2007), who said that being a humanist means “trying to behave decently without expecting rewards or punishment after you are dead”. 

Our donors appreciate that their money goes directly to helping people, guided by reason and empathy, without trying to convert anyone or promote a specific religion.

Please donate £10, £20, £30, £40 or any other amount, either as a one-off gift or a monthly contribution, to help us promote humility and kindness. Please remember to confirm Gift Aid, boosting their donation value by 25% at no extra cost to you.
