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 couldnโ€™t keep running and providing the vital services that we do across the county.

Offering your ๐“๐ˆ๐Œ๐„ is one of the ways you can get involved and support us.

Allotment Update!

ย 
We are making steady progress at our allotment! Can you spare any time in the week and can maybe offer some support to get our community garden flourishing!ย 
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.

March!

Just like many others, March was hugely successful in terms of the support we could offer and the people we managed to help.

We supplied 2,415 meals to people through our food hampers across the wider community.

We have rescued 16.6 tonnes of food waste, which has generated approximately 39,342 meals! This is through our redirected waste in our Pantry store!

We saved a whopping 28,220kg (PPM) of Co2!

We prevented a whopping ยฃ13,280 worth of food from rotting in landfill!

We have helped 15 families improve their situations, by finding longer term solutions to shape brighter and more sustainable futures.

We continue to help eliminate the need for food aid and strive to live in a world where EVERYONE can afford to shop and live independently!

โ€œHunger doesn't take a day off, so neither do weโ€
