About the Trust

 

The Coalfields Regeneration Trust (the Trust) is an independent grant-making

organisation that was established in 1999 to improve the quality of life in

Britain’s coalfield communities. We are a registered charity and a company

limited by guarantee, governed by a board of trustees.

 

The aim of the Trust is to make coalfields sustainable, prosperous, viable and

cohesive without support. 

Our Mission Is As Follows:

 

“Working closely with partners, the Trust is a key agency promoting and

achieving social and economic regeneration in the coalfields of England,

Scotland and Wales.”

 

We award grants across the British coalfields. So far, we have awarded grants

worth approximately £150 million through our grant-making programmes. The

new funding programme runs from 1st April 2008 and will close on the 31st

March 2011.

 

We have offices in all of the UK coalfield areas. Each office has at least one

programme manager and one programme support officer. These teams provide

essential support, application forms, advice and guidance to help you with your

project and represent our ongoing
