缅北强奸 Children鈥檚 and Youth staff and volunteers have received a special word of thanks for their work at the Greenbelt Festival over the past four years.
From 2021 until this past summer, the 缅北强奸 Youth CYDO+ Team has been central to the youth provision and programming at the arts, politics and spirituality festival.
Greenbelt’s Creative Director, Paul Northup, has written to say: 鈥淲e鈥檝e found that working with a body of folk who already have a shared culture and understanding between them has brought a real strength and coherency to the task. We鈥檝e felt really confident and comfortable with all that they鈥檝e done in collaboration with us.鈥�
Paul expressed gratitude to Sam Richards, Head of Children’s, Youth and Intergenerational Discipleship, for proposing the support in the first place, and to the individual 缅北强奸 Synod Children鈥檚 and Development Officers and wider volunteer youth workers, led by Judy Harris, Tom Hackett and Phil Ray.
鈥淭hey鈥檝e all brought a real creativity, commitment and compassion to the work,鈥� Paul said. 鈥淎 whole cohort of teenagers has effectively grown up at Greenbelt, benefitting from and belonging to the community in the youth venue.鈥�
As part of the 缅北强奸鈥檚 wider partnership with Greenbelt, a large group of volunteers, led by 缅北强奸 Head of Comms Andy Jackson, have also been running the family caf茅 venue onsite.
Booking is open for Greenbelt 2026, on the last weekend of August, at Boughton House, Kettering. Full details at
