Would you like more people in your area to have an allotment?
Green Allotments is funding the creation of new non-profit allotment sites in England. We are offering to fund up to £50,000 per acre for new allotment land. And we want to hear from you if you want a new non-profit allotment site in your area.

Anyone who is passionate about allotments and willing to collaborate with Green Allotments to get a new site created in their area. Our focus is on community-led management and environmental stewardship, to ensure a sustainable future for allotments.
We are accepting applications now and there is no current deadline for applications. (Please read the Exclusions at the end of this page before you contact us).

Land Search
Please look for a piece of land before you contact us and tell us about this land. We have a guide here on how to look for land for allotments.
Cost of Land
For this stage of the funding programme, we are unlikely to fund new allotment sites where the cost of land purchase is more than £50,000 per acre.
Our current priority is to create as many new non-profit allotment sites as possible.
Not for profit
We are a charity and not for profit.
We do not make any money out of creating new allotment sites.
