Links
We have worked with a number of individuals and organisations over the years in order to maintain the allotment and provide material for plot holders.
Disabled plots
We have been lucky to get funding to create and maintain two plots for disabled users, currently these plots are used by two local groups, that bring their clients to the allotment to work on their plots.
Help for Heros
The allotment association have worked with the Help for Heros charity to provide one of the plots for an ex-serviceman.
Halas Homes
Halas Homes is an organisation that provides support for some of the more vulerable members of society.
Like the greenies these clients gain a great deal of pleasure working on the allotment and meeting other plot holders.
Together with working on their allotment they also complete other gardening projects in the Halesowen area, including helping with Halesowen in Bloom.

If you have an allotment and your allotment association is not a member of NSALG then it is worth considering joining.
They provide a number of advantages to the allotment gardener the most obvious is their link with Kings Seeds and the discount provided.
