Bridport Climate Response:

Following successful consultations in late 2021, a range of actions are under way, as part of a Bridport Climate Response initiative.

Practical local responses to climate change

It is easy to feel that climate change is such a large problem that our actions won’t count. In fact, facing this crisis depends on actions we can all take, as well as responses from governments.

Volunteer with us

If you would like to get involved with matters relating to Bridport Food, such as becoming an Allotment Ambassador, supporting the food glut and surplus stall projects, or volunteering with community initiatives and Bridport Food Matters partners, we would love to hear from you.

Meet Community Food Educator Sarah Wilberforce

Find out what inspired Sarah to become involved in food, which has led her to participate in several of the important community-driven local food projects in Bridport – from the primary schools, to the glut stall and the food festival, with her passion for education, climate change, health and poverty alleviation.

Welcome

This website aims to provide you with information on all aspects of food matters in Bridport: just scan through the sections below and follow the links.

Bridport has a vibrant food economy, with brilliant producers, retailers and caterers, but there’s a lot we can do to increase food security locally, and reduce the impacts of climate change, shrinking budgets and more. Please share your views via the Facebook Group, participate in events, and sign up for our newsletters.

With thanks to support from Bridport Town Council’s Climate and Ecological Emergency Committee towards the creation and maintenance of this website.
