About us

The Nottinghamshire Miners’ Welfare Trust Fund is here to support you

Who are we?

We are The Nottinghamshire Miners Welfare Trust Fund (NMWTF), a registered charity (Charity number: 1001272) based in Mansfield

What do we do?

We are committed to supporting former miners and their dependants now and in the future.

  • We provide grants to former coal miners and their families at a time of need
  • We also support organisations with projects that benefit the wider communities within the former Nottinghamshire coalfield.
 

Our history

The Nottinghamshire Miners Welfare Trust Fund was formally established in 1990 to promote and improve the health, social wellbeing and conditions of living of persons who are or have been employed in the coal industry and their dependants.

Since 1990 the Trust Fund has helped a significant number of former miners and their families in need through the awarding of individual grants 

The Trust Fund has also provided grants to groups and organisations that have benefitted former mining communities
