Constituted not-for-profit organisations can apply for support to secure land for new non-profit allotment sites in England. The fund offers up to £50,000 per acre to help groups create community-led allotments with a strong focus on environmental stewardship and long-term sustainability.
The fund does not award cash grants. Instead, it offers successful applicants a 30-year peppercorn lease, with the intention to renew.
This lease gives communities a generous opportunity to secure new allotment land at a time when waiting lists remain high and councils create few new allotment sites.
The fund welcomes applications from people and groups who care about allotments and want to work with the funder to bring new allotment land to their area.
The fund is accepting applications now. There are no application deadlines.
