SWCAA (South West Counties Allotment Association)

General information

The SWCAA is a non-profit making organisation. We were formed out of concern for the lack of allotment protection and provision across the UK. Although based in Barnstaple in South West of England we cover the whole of the UK, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. We promote the benefits of allotments, gardening and growing your own no matter how small your outside space.

We have helped many people to protect their existing allotment sites as well as helping to create new ones and we can provide you with a wealth of information, advice and guidance for all your allotment needs. We are the fresh, friendly and modern, voice for the allotment movement; we aspire to develop partnerships with like minded organisations and to facilitate the working of good practice.

SWCAA became a Community Interest Company on 25th February 2008.

We offer a friendly, efficient no strings service and we aim to be the first point of contact for all your allotment and gardening needs. Becoming a member of SWCAA is easy and enables you to make contact with other groups, clubs and Associations around the country, share advice and experiences and when problems arise have the piece of mind to know that help is just a phone call away.
