Trust Greenbelt is the gift of the Greenbelt community to global and UK initiatives that find ways of combining faith, justice and the arts - in their broadest sense. It's the way the Festival walks its own talk throughout the year. Festivalgoers give tens of thousands of pounds to Trust Greenbelt each year during the Sunday morning service. This is distributed in small and medium size grants to initiatives, inspired by faith, that liberate creativity in the face of exclusion, exploitation and injustice. And where possible these projects get showcased at the Festival.
