Funding organisation
Coalfields Regeneration Trust: Coalfields Community Grants Level 1

Description


The Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) is an independent grant making organisation established in 1999 to improve the quality of life for people living in Britain’s coalfield communities.

 

CRT award grants and invest in programmes of work that make a difference to communities facing significant challenges as a result of the decline of the coal mining industry. Since 1999 the Trust has invested over £200 million in these communities. They currently have funding available to support activity up to 31st March 2013.

 

Eligible activity
Suitable projects must demonstrate that a grant will impact positively on

people living in coalfield communities. They may need some additional support to get a new project off the ground, increase existing activity or improve the way they deliver their activities. Examples include improvements to a community facility, a training project that teaches people new skills or enables them to get a qualification, activities that address a local health issue or get people involved in physical activity, activities that promote volunteering and get new people involved as volunteers and after school activities and holiday schemes.
