The Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) is distributing £150,000 of Welsh Government funding through CRT Support grants to enhance community facilities in Welsh coalfield areas.

- Surveys and Professional Fees, funds up to two professional surveys per organisation, such as building condition, asbestos, energy efficiency, or structural surveys, to aid future planning.
