Volunteer at Big Church Festival 2025

Volunteer with Compassion at Big Church Festival 2025! 

Be part of something extraordinary. 

Join our team of 300 Compassion volunteers at Big Church Festival—the UK’s largest Christian festival—on 21-25 August 2025 at Wiston House, West Sussex. 

This is more than a festival; it’s a powerful opportunity to help release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. Through heartfelt conversations and meaningful connections, you’ll inspire others to make a lasting difference. 

Why Big Church Festival? 

At Compassion, we always work exclusively in partnership with local churches—because the Church is God’s plan to bring hope to the world. We seek out churches whose hearts have been broken by the injustice of poverty and who are already moving with compassion to support children in their communities. With deep cultural understanding and strong relationships, local churches create enduring change, while Compassion comes alongside as a catalyst and connector—amplifying their impact. 

That’s why it’s so fitting that we’re partnering with the biggest church festival in the UK—a weekend that unites Christians from across the world around God’s call to share His love and care for all people. 

What does volunteering involve? 

We have a variety of roles to suit your skills and passions, from welcoming guests and sharing stories to serving in our café and prayer team. You’ll commit around six hours per day, with time to enjoy the festival too!
