Environmental charity Green Allotments has announced that The New Allotment Site Fund is accepting applications from people in England who want to establish new non-profit allotment sites in their area.
The fund can support the purchase of land, with Green Allotments offering up to £50,000 per acre. The aim is to provide additional land for allotments, enabling more people to grow their own food and benefit from the associated health and wellbeing benefits.
Applicants must form an allotment society and help manage the new site. The charity will retain ownership of the land and lease it to the allotment society at a peppercorn rent. Applicants are encouraged to identify potential land before getting in touch.
Applicants must be aged 18 and over. Councils, statutory organisations and intermediary bodies are not eligible, while established Community Interest Companies are unlikely to be supported.
Applications can be made at any time.
