Tower Fund

What is the Tower Fund? Funding for community benefits in Hirwaun, Penderyn, Penywaun and Rhigos and for groups in any South Wales Mining areas.

This spring Tower Colliery begins mining again. For every tonne of coal produced through the open cast mining 44 pence will be put into a ‘pot’ called the Tower Fund. This fund will add up to millions of pounds over the next seven years – and it’s all to be spent in the communities of Hirwaun, Penderyn, Penywaun and Rhigos. Anyone who lives in these areas can apply for a grant from the Tower Fund.  ...
