The Green Man Trust, the charitable arm of Wales’ largest music festival, is celebrating its 10th birthday.

Since 2014, the Green Man Trust has supported more than 12,000 people and raised nearly £2 million pounds - doubling its starting target in the process.

In the past decade it has provided more than 170 grants to community projects and raised more than £1.8 million for good causes.

In 2024 alone, the Trust selected 14 projects for its Community Grant scheme, more than twice the number of projects it supported last year, with donations topping £20,000.

And since it was launched, thousands of people in Powys community groups have benefited from the Green Man Trust, as well as wider charitable projects across Wales.

These include £200,000 raised for Powys schools including Llangattock, Crickhowell, Llanbedr, Llangynidr Primary School, and Crickhowell High School. 

Welsh actor and musician Iwan Rheon, Ambassador of the Green Man Trust, said: “As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Green Man Trust, I, as a proud Welshman, remain passionately committed to this organisation as its ambassador. 

“A staggering 12,000 people have been supported since we started, and what a journey it's been. We can’t talk about the Green Man Trust without talking about its founder, Fiona Stewart. The Trust is her vision. She cares about people, a fairer society and bringing people together to create positive experiences. Green Man attendees will be familiar with this ethos as it is at the heart of the festival as it is with the Trust. Her enthusiasm for ‘making good stuff happen,’ inspired me and many others to get involved and the momentum has grown and grown. We are very grateful to the many people who supported us along the way.’'

The first decade saw the Green Man Trust double its targets. For the next decade, the Trust will focus even more on future generations and the climate emergency.
