We are Diamond Hampers, we are dedicated to supporting and helping the most vulnerable in society. We provide food aid to vulnerable families and individuals across Cambridgeshire by supplying food parcels filled with enough to provide meals for a whole week. We support local hostels by supplying them with trays of fresh food items and products ideal for those sleeping on our streets. We support rough sleepers by supplying them with hot meals, snacks, warm clothing, bedding and by helping them to seek the support they need from the relevant services. We provide toys, books, clothing, toiletries and even help to source second hand furniture for those families and individuals that are living in poverty. We support young care leavers and newly housed rough sleepers by providing them with start-up kits to help them at the beginning of their new journey. We supply lots of goodies regularly to various care homes and temporary living facilities across the county and regularly send out “top up bags” and “care packages” for struggling families. Our ethos is to redirect as much food waste as possible but also around the sustainability of people and their families. With this in mind, we make referrals with and for the beneficiaries. We help them to develop longer term solutions to enable them to better sustain their own lives. We promote independence and bridge dignity gaps by providing places and spaces for affordable shopping and access to the essentials in life.

The Food Basket is a community fridge operating across Peterborough. We offer local fresh food to the community, reducing food waste and tackling food insecurity. The community fridge is open to all. There is no need to be in receipt of benefits and you do not need a referral or voucher to access this free service, just come along to your chosen session and bring a bag. Due to how we receive our food we cannot guarantee what we will have but in general it is a mix of fresh fruit and vegetables from farms and supermarkets and bakery goods such as bread and cakes. This can help with food costs and stop food going to waste, good for your pocket and the environment! Our Extra Helpings programme offers additional support for our patrons by linking with other organisations with specialist knowledge. We are currently working with Healthy You, Cross Keys Homes, and Woodgreen.
