South Downs Allotment Association

South Downs Allotment Association provides a green space for residents of Castle Point to learn about growing plants and the benefits of eating fresh vegetables.

They enjoy welcoming people of all ages and abilities to get outdoors and planting, which not only provides them with healthy, free food but gives them something to watch flourish and an achievement to be proud of.

Sadly, a fire in the area caused the allotment to lose their equipment shed so a grant helped them to replace this and the lost equipment. This allows the community to keep enjoying the outdoors, supporting their well-being, and providing a space to exercise.
