There are so many ways you can get involved to help us here at Diamond Hampers.
Without the support of volunteers or people in the community, we simply couldn’t keep running and providing the vital services that we do across the county.
Offering your 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 is one of the ways you can get involved and support us.
By 𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐬, you will be helping us to run our stores, deliver our food hampers and of course collecting and redirecting food waste. – is this for you? Do get in touch with Lianne at diamondhampers@yahoo.com.

Our Brand New Allotment!
I am super excited to announce that our brand new community allotment space has been secured and we got to go see our piece of land today!
I am so proud of how far we have come!
Who’d have thought from one crazy idea and running from my garage, to not only a successful award winning organisation, but two stores and now this amazing opportunity!
I am so so proud of the team I have behind me and everything they do to support and help to make all this possible.
This BRAND NEW project will enable residents on referral to grow their own food, promoting healthier eating habits and reducing food costs.
By growing their own produce, residents can improve their diets with fresh, organic vegetables and fruits, directly impacting public health.
The use of sustainable farming practices in these allotments can significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with food production. This project encourages composting, water conservation, and the use of organic pest control, contributing to biodiversity and a healthier local ecosystem.
Together we can cultivate a healthier, more self-reliant, and environmentally conscious community.
September!!
Just like many others, September was hugely successful in terms of the support we could offer and the people we managed to help.
We supplied 2,520 meals to people through our food hampers across the wider community.
We have rescued 16.5 tonnes of food waste, which has generated approximately 38,065 meals! This is through our redirected waste in our Pantry store!
We saved a whopping 28,050kg (PPM) of Co2!
We prevented a whopping £13,200 worth of food from rotting in landfill!
We have helped 14 families improve their situations, by finding longer term solutions to shape brighter and more sustainable futures.
We continue to work in friendship with partners Social Echo, to help eliminate the need for food aid and strive to live in a world where EVERYONE can afford to shop and live independent
