A coal mining charity has launched a scheme to offer £200 grant to former miners to help them cope with the rise of fuel costs in 2022. The Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation (CISWO) is a UK-wide charity providing free support to former coal miners and their families. They are offering the grant to provide support with the huge energy price cap that came into place in April this year.
The scheme is available to former coal miners, or their partners, or widows, who are viewed as vulnerable due to being on low income, live in their own home and responsible for paying their energy bills.
