The National Allotment Society - National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners Ltd

Regional Information

NAS is covered across the UK by regional representatives and panels who meet on a regular basis to help and support the associations, federations and members in the area, as well as promoting the allotment movement locally.

Along with their role on the Society’s management board, NAS regional representatives deal with local member issues and offer support to sites under threat of disposal. Regional representatives are supported in their role by deputy representatives and both can offer advice and support around issues such as:

  • where to go for funding
  • how to set up an association
  • becoming self-managed
  • disability access
  • different ways to promote your plots
  • working with community groups
  • what to do about security concerns
  • setting up an allotment project.
