The Coalfields Social Enterprise Grant Scheme

WEFO logo

The Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) in Wales have been successful in securing match funding from the European Regional Development Fund under the Convergence programme to develop a grant scheme particularly targeted at the development of social enterprises in former Coalfield areas.

CRT will directly deliver 2 aspects of the grant scheme – Level 2 and Level 3

The Coalfields Social Enterprise Grant Scheme Level 2 is for grants between £500 and £10,000. Projects need to be delivered within 12 months and demonstrate how the grant will improve their income generation and sustainability. Grants can be for up to 2 years but must end by March 2012.

The Coalfields Social Enterprise Grant Scheme Level 3 is for grants between £10,001 and £100,000. This programme is for projects which have real potential to be a lasting social enterprise and need more investment to develop and secure a long term future.
