When allotments in Claypits Lane were sold to Tesco in 1995 the proceeds were invested – the Dibden Allotments Charity was set up to administer the fund and distribute income.

The Dibden Allotments Charity applies the income to relieve generally or individually persons resident in the Parish of Hythe who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress.

Anyone resident in he parishes of Hythe & Dibden, Fawley or Marchwood plus organisations in the same area although, under the terms of the trust deed, Hythe & Dibden must take priority.

Applications forms for individuals and organisations are available from:
