The Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) is now in the final year of its three year programme which ends on 31 March 2011.

However there is still time to apply for grants of £500 - £5,000 under the Bridging the Gap Programme, for the most deprived former coalfield areas. The grant can be for capital or revenue costs or a mixture of the two but the project outputs have to be completed and grant spent by 31 March 2011.

The deadline for applications is 10 September 2010. For more information, including eligibility criteria, contact Neil Topliss, CRT, by telephone, 01709 765 573, or visit the CRT website here.
