'Land we paid for is being sold for millions - but we don't see the benefit'
83% Informative
Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation has sold 27 sites over the past 14 years .
Most of the money raised has gone to the only national mining charity.
But ex-miners and their families say the money has not been reinvested locally.
CISWO says it invests the money it gets from sales to generate income to be spent in former mining communities.
CISWO was created under the Miners' Welfare Act 1952 to support miners, their families and coalfield areas.
Following the privatisation of the coal industry in 1995 , the trust became a charitable trust.
CISO sold Dinnington 's "hallowed" old miners' clubhouse and land to housing developers, for 875,000 , in 2020 .
CISWO's personal welfare payments supported 2,439 people in 2023 , compared to almost 10,000 in 2016 .
In the past eight years , it has also cut the number of its services and spend through its grants scheme.
It said it had "broadened" support for mining communities, which "changes and evolves as individuals age and needs grow".
