About the Coalition for Global Prosperity

The Coalition for Global Prosperity (CGP) brings together political, military, business and faith leaders who believe that an effective development budget, alongside an active diplomatic and defence strategy, keeps Britain at the forefront of saving lives, alleviating poverty and bringing freedom, security and prosperity to those who need it most.

At a time when the UK's role in the world is being redefined, Britain is at its best when it acts as a global leader in development as well as in defence and diplomacy. With a smart and effective aid budget, which leverages British expertise, the UK can transform lives.

CGP works in Westminster, bringing together a wide coalition with backgrounds across the military, faith, business and political communities to advocate for the UK’s role in the world. We run high-level retreats, parliamentary events, international delegations to Washington D.C., Rome, and countries across Africa and the Middle East, a series of Westminster programmes and produce policy reports. 

We regularly host influential figures and thought leaders to speak on our platform. Previous speakers include David Attenborough, Julia Gillard, Theresa May, Gordon Brown, Boris Johnson, Bill Gates, David Cameron and John Sawers.

We are seeking a proactive and hard-working Faith in Politics Programme Coordinator to help set up and run a new project.

The 12-month project will involve a quarterly events programme, policy research and media engagement.
