Facts and Figures

Once the heartland of coalmining in the UK, the East Midlands are home to a coalfield population of 789,209 in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. Coalfield communities in these two are based in a range of towns, pit villages and hamlets stretching from the East Midlands border of South Yorkshire down to Rushcliffe in the very south of Nottinghamshire. The East Midlands office of the Trust covers the largest geographical area in the UK, covering 172 electoral wards, encompassing 13 districts and boroughs and 3 sub-regions. 

Since the Trust was launched in 1999 we have made grants totalling more than £34 million to over 350 East Midlands groups.

The grants awarded have covered the full breadth of regeneration themes and successful groups and organisations obtaining funds have been as diverse as the communities we serve.
