De Warmste Diamantsector

What is 'De Warmste Diamantsector'?

De Warmste Diamantsector is the Antwerp diamond sector event tied to VRT’s annual “De Warmste Week” charity drive. On December 1, between 12pm and 1:30pm, visitors can enjoy hot beverages in the Antwerp Diamond District. We kick off our charity campaign for De Warmste Week, which this year raises funds for people without a (safe) place to call their home.

This year, you can pre-order customized 'let me be your rock' winter hats, ideal as a gift for the upcoming holiday season. If hats aren't your or a loved one's thing, you can also contribute by sponsoring our 'warm home', or you can swing by and buy yourself a hot cuppa joe.

Preorder your 'Let me be your rock' hats!

Order one or multiple “Let Me Be Your Rock” hats for just €10 a piece and help De Warmste Week. All proceeds go to projects that support people without a safe, warm home.

  1. Preorder by November 16, and we’ll have your hats ready in time for the De Warmste Diamantsector event on December 1. 
  2. We'll let you know once the hats have been delivered, which will be before the start of the month December.
  3. You pay by scanning a QR code when you pick them up or when they’re delivered, and the money goes straight to De Warmste Week (pick the option you prefer while filling in your preorder survey).

Help us build our warm home

Not everyone has a safe, warm place to come home to. This year, De Warmste Week supports people without a warm home, including those facing homelessness, domestic violence, or growing up in youth care.

What does your donation mean? To make it tangible, we translated amounts into things that make a house a home.

Good to know: these items are an illustration, not a purchase. No actual furniture is bought. Your full donation goes to De Warmste Week, which uses it where it’s needed most.

Example: Your team donates €100. That’s a side table’s worth of warmth, and all €100 goes to De Warmste Week to support these projects.

Together, he Antwerp diamond sector will build a proverbial warm home. 💛
