Member Organisations

There are many Humanist organisations both in Europe and across the world - for a world list see the IHEU site.

Some have been created fairly recently, others are nearly two centuries old. There are federations embracing millions of members and local groups with only a few dozen. Some work at grass roots level, dealing with social issues, humanist ceremonies, counselling, leisure activities, education and so on; others are more interested in reflection, personal fulfilment or philosophical enquiry.

Many EHF member organisations are federal bodies with member organisations of their own that are not necessarily directly affiliated to EHF.
