To all who run Diamond Hampers, support staff and volunteers.

In the present social climate many people are, and no doubt with the government removing the Universal Credit top up, and furlough being removed at some point, hence a percentage of those affected will be forced onto UC.

But yourselves, acting as a social net and providing help for those who are unfortunately affected, is in essence a godsend for myself and many others, winter is approaching and the sad expectancy that the choice between heating and eating will rear its ugly head. Yourselves & volunteers are always cheerful and make it, less of a call or conversation, that for some people can find difficult, as no one really wants to be perceived as being needy and I would guess some are embarrassed to be in that situation. However, it is a need not situation as your warmth and kindness soon puts that to bed, i hope anyone struggling, picks up the phone or visits your lovely shop.

As a final point, your food parcels are not only gratefully received, but contain what is needed to make some healthy meals and balanced, with fruit Etc (didn't eat fruit but do now). Also your volunteers always turn up on allocated slots without fail.

Thank you for your help and kind wishes to all involved in your fantastic endeavour.
