The British League of Unitarian and Other Liberal Christian Women (Women's League) was founded in 1908. Its Objects are:-
- to quicken the religious life of our churches and to bring Unitarian
and other other Liberal Christian Women into closer fellowship.
- to promote the formation of branches in connection with the Churches
and Fellowships.
- to suggest ways and means of providing for the needs and extending the influence of such Churches and fellowships and to collect and spread among members, information of Liberal religious interests.
There are now 55 branches, grouped in 11 Districts throughout the United Kingdom, all represented on a Central Committee. There is a gathering for the Annual General Meeting at the Denomination's General Assembly Meetings and a Triennial Conference with a Rally in the years between.
At District and Local Level, the branches serve their churches
communities in many interesting and varied ways such as educational talks,
craft work, care of the elderly and disabled, money raising and social
gatherings. Each branch arranges its own unique programme.
At National level there are many activities associated with the League.
They include:
- publishing a bimonthly League Letter, communicating news and events.
- various publications are issued from time to time:-
- "Miscellany" – current publlication
- "Prayers and Meditations" – still available
- "Anthology – History of the League" – in preparation
- keeping in touch with isolated and overseas members through the
Fellowship Secretary.
- supporting Health and Educational work among members of the
Unitarian Churches in Assam - through the India Fund.
- Memorial Fund, and a Capital Fund created by gifts to commemorate
Past League members. The income from this fund is used for the relief of
poverty, financial distress among Unitarian women.
- an Annual Project raises in excess of £5,000 for charities such as Macmillan Nurses, Alzheimer's Disease, Breast Cancer, Hearing Dogs for the Deaf, Lupus and Motor Neurone Disease.
