This year marks 10 years of Faith to Faithless πŸ’›

For a decade, we’ve supported people leaving high-control religions β€” often at great personal cost.

Help us keep going for the next 10 years. Every gift makes a difference.

Exeter Humanists are looking forward to a talk shortly from a climate modeller from the Hadley Centre, who'll be able to answer your questions about the process of turning climate data and maths into policy advice.

Full details will be on our events page when finalised.

This was discussed at the community assembly at the Green Phoenix event in Exeter on Sunday too. Although the discussion emphasised using risks to crops such as coffee & cocoa to focus minds. We already see increased price volatility due to weather in line with climate forecasts in these items.

A blue commemorative plaque from the Exeter Civic Society, honoring Cecil "Charlie" Brewer (1895-1985), a bootmaker and pigeon breeder, and his pigeon Mary of Exeter. The plaque notes that Brewer's building was his home and workshop from 1922 to 1985.
