Humber Avenue Community Allotments (HACA) was formed on the 18th of August 2021 to manage the allotments at Humber Avenue on behalf of Worthing Borough Council (WBC) following a vote for self-management. Operational control for all aspects of managing the 104 Allotments at Humber Avenue commenced on the 1st October 2021.
Performance is measured against a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with WBC which is subject to a formal review every 3 months.
HACA is a Community Interest Company with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the community.
