South Wales Miners Welfare Trust Fund Scheme
Key takeaways
- The fund's stated priority area is South Wales and Monmouthshire, so a group working elsewhere should check that fit before writing.
- Its educational grants go to qualified people for courses or approved studies they could not otherwise afford, and its reported community support includes older people's social activities, heritage work, brass-band competition and community gardens.
- Its convalescent-home benefit is for mineworkers, former mineworkers and their dependants, and requires a minimum of five years' service, so applicants without that service should not expect it.
- The annual report gives no usable grants total and no grant range, so keep any request proportionate and tie it closely to the fund's stated purposes.
- No application process is published, so start by getting in touch through the contact shown.
