Greenbelt works in partnership with two main Festival partners: Christian Aid and DFID, The Department for International Development. It also has associate partnerships with CMS, YMCA, ICC, Traidcraft, Ecclesiastical Insurance, Church Times, and Church Urban Fund.

Christian Aid: We believe in life before death

Supported and sustained by the churches and driven by the Gospel, Christian Aid is inspired by the dream of a new earth where all people can secure a better and more just future.

DFID: The Department for International Development

Leading the British Government's fight against world poverty

Traidcraft

It's great to have Traidcraft as associate partners. We work with them on fair trade Festival t-shirts, fair trade wine for communion and the bar - and much more besides.

Ecclesiastical Insurance Group

By way of an introduction, we asked our newest festival associate partner a little bit about themselves and about why they are coming on board with Greenbelt.

The Church Times

CMS

CMS is a voluntary association of people rooted in the Anglican Communion who are united in obedience to Christ's command to fulfill his Great Commission.

YMCA in England

The YMCA's vision is of an inclusive Christian Movement, transforming communities so that all young people truly belong, contribute and thrive.

The Church Urban Fund

More than 20 years on from 1986's 'Faith in the City' report, the Church Urban Fund has been given a new lease of life.
