'The “Lit & Phil” organises an annual series of lectures and discussions, usually held in the Leicester Museum & Art Gallery, for the advancement of education in Literature, Science and Art ... It publishes reports, papers and proceedings and supports the museum. There are also Natural History and Geology Sections, which organise further events.'

'The leading organisation in Leicestershire advocating and campaigning for an inclusive and plural society free from religious privilege, prejudice and discrimination ... The Society aims to provide a stimulating atmosphere nurturing debate and creativity. Regular talks, meetings and events continue to be held at Leicester Secular Hall, one of the world's last surviving Secular Halls, built in 1881. The Hall and Society together provide a local base for loosely bound groups and individuals to join forces with a view to creating a better world.'

'At the heart of our work are our diverse religious and belief communities. We serve them in a number of ways through public benefit activities which include charity days, integration initiatives over food, roundtable discussions, lectures and seminars. We are committed to working with communities to promote encounter, harbour trust, strengthen understanding and encourage co-operation.'

'Each year we host a series of free seminars and lectures which is open to graduates, students, staff and members of the public.'
