CISWO

We are CISWO. The Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation. With a history going back to 1920, we have been a charity since 1995, working to improve lives and reduce disadvantage in coal mining communities. We are the only national charity solely focussed on supporting former coal miners and their families, other mining charities and local mining communities. Our services make a real difference to people's lives... We provide a range of help for former coal miners and their families, we support over 200 independent mining charities and we protect recreational land in former mining communities... As one of the UK's largest custodians of recreational land, we work to preserve facilities like football, rugby, and cricket pitches, as well as open recreation spaces, ensuring they remain accessible for former mining communities and future generations to enjoy.
