About The Trust
The Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) is an independent regeneration 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 voluntary 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 CRT is a key agency promoting and achieving social and economic regeneration in the coalfields of England, Scotland and Wales.”
CRT’s ‘family’ of programmes are specially targeted to meet the needs of all generations and we award grants to community groups across the British coalfields. So far, we have awarded grantsworth approximately £200 million through our grant-making programmes. The current 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 commitment to grass-roots regeneration of coalfield communities.
