    Grants for new sites etc

    Hi All

    I'm posting this question on behalf of a colleague. Where he lives they have been allocated some ground by tha parish council to be used for allotments.

    What he would like to know is if there are any grants thay could apply for as a new site so that they could get hold of some sheds, water butts etc to get started as the site is completely bare.

    They are in the process of seeing if they can get water.

    I have aready suggested that he contact NSALG to see if they have helpful advice and the local council as well as scrounging barrels from local factories, but also offered to ask on here too. All answers will be printed out and I'll take them into work for him.

    Much thanks
    Kirsty

    Try the ARI website, they may be able to help. I don't suppose you are in a coal mining area otherwise you could have tried the CRT. Apart from that some of the bigger organisations like Shell used to do a community fund so they may be a good try

      B&Q have a community grant thing too, noticed a big sign about it when I was in there the other day. Also the Co-op, I think.
      Then there's Lottery-funding, which unfortunately I know nothing about, except they donated money for a new pavillion at our local cricket club!

            Go to the Citizens Advice people. We got a grant from something to do with landfill (can't remeber details). But CAB gave us the details.
            Good luck.

              Guys, thanks so much.

              Have printed these answers and also the homepages of the links.

              Will pass these on at work on Thursday.

                I use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
