Caroline Lynch interviews for the evening news

 

The Scottish Secular Society formed as a campaign organisation in 2013, by a group of local parents. We have grown from that small gathering to a Scotland-wide, national society that lobbies on issues of religion and the state in Scotland. Today we work closely with a number of local, national, and EU organisations to support human rights, education, and continue to be a strong and prolific voice for the people.

We are a non-profit, independent organisation, run by a team of passionate volunteers, with an international membership. Entering our 5th year, we aim to finalise our charity status in Scotland in order to bring greater and more robust support to our community. This is a new turn for the SSS! We are investing in Scotland’s future and we hope you’ll join us as we move forward.
