Our Research · Coalfields Regeneration Trust

Research and Reports

By collaborating with a variety of influential partners, we have put together a diverse portfolio of informative research and reports that demonstrate why coalfield communities across the UK continue to need our support.

We jointly commissioned with the Industrial Communities Alliance this Sheffield Hallam University report to evidence the impact of the coronavirus crisis on the health, economy and labour market of older industrial Britain.

The Coalfields Regeneration Trust decided to reach out to our communities and share the good work that was going on during these unprecedented times.

This report provides an updated socio-economic and deprivation assessment for Scotland’s former coal mining communities based on open public data.

An outline of our proposal to create a new £40m investment fund for the coalfields to invest in new industrial and commercial properties suitable for growing SMEs.

The Places with Purpose report illustrates industrial towns’ strong identities, their distinct business opportunities, and the policies desperately needed to make a difference.
