- Promote an understanding of Humanism in South West Hertfordshire and the area around Watford.
- Develop programmes to address the non-religious needs of children, families and people living and working in these areas.

The Watford Area Humanists Group is a partner of Humanists UK (formerly the British Humanists Association).
Humanism is a set of beliefs:
- Human beings can lead good lives without being ruled by fear or superstition.
- Based upon impartial consideration of available evidence, that there are no gods, creator beings or afterlife.
- Being happy and doing good for oneself and others in the one life we all have.
- Living life on the basis of behaving towards others as you would like them to behave towards you.
- Respect for all other life forms and the natural environment on our planet Earth.
