In these cold, wet days of lockdown it may seem like nothing much is happening on our High Street. Although news of closure of some of the High Street favourites is unwelcome it is encouraging to see the emergence of new retailers or others relocating to bigger premises.
In this update we are delighted to focus on two things that have been achieved this last month through the dedication and hard work of some truly inspirational people.
Firstly, Diamond Hampers, a support network that helps vulnerable families and individuals, has fulfilled their ambition to open The Pantry, a shop whose aim is to provide low income families with the opportunity to purchase affordable food. The store is located in All Saints Passage and is open from Monday to Saturday, from 10am to 3pm.

A firm providing low cost food has opened a shop in Huntingdon town centre this week.
Lianne Simpson founder of Diamond Hampers and director Charlotte Heritage have opened the shop called‘The Pantry in All Saints Passage, in Huntingdon.
Diamond Hampers was founded in January 2020 and collects food that is not sold in supermarkets by the end of the day and then distributes items to families in need across Huntingdonshire.
Last year the organisation provided a staggering 108,000 meals to people across the district, including the homeless.
Lianne said: “Wherever we could we would use ingredients such as a cauliflower and make a batch of cauliflower cheese to provide as a hot meal to a homeless person.
