Insurance

Like it or not, insurance is part of everyday life. On allotments, in this age of compensation culture, more and more local authorities and private landowners are now requiring plot holders to have £5 million worth of cover as part of the terms of any lease agreement.

To the average plot holder this may seem daunting, but insurance for your allotment plot does not have to cost the earth.

When you become a member of SWCAA you automatically get FREE Public and Product Liability cover up to £5 million - A must for all allotment holders and gardeners and now we are pleased to be able to offer Free Employer's Liability cover up to £10 million.   

The Public and and Product Liability cover is a third party cover only and it protects you from claims made AGAINST you for

(a) Injury to any person
(b) Damage to Property
(C) Interference with or loss of enjoyment of property as a result of obstruction, trespass, or nuisance.
