Portsmouth Community Allotment

The community allotment has been running for 4 years it was originally funded with money from the Health action zone. We are currently funded by the Big Lottery Fund until April 2007. We are based at Milton piece allotments in Locksway Road.

The project aims to help people to share skills and learn about growing fruit and vegetables organically. We hope that people will enjoy the benefits of gentle exercise and fresh air in a peaceful and friendly environment. We have paved access for wheelchairs and a disabled accessible toilet, so we are fully accessible to people with physical disabilities.
 
We are open 4 days a week and have two workers who do 15 hours weekly. They organise and plan the allotment and support people who use the project. There are also have a number of regular volunteers who help out. The project is open to individual referrals and groups. If you have a group you want to refer it is important that you have some helpers who would attend with the group as the staff team's time is limited.
