Meet the BFM team

Candida Dunford Wood, CEO

My hope is that we can create a food hub venue, which will help diverse sectors of the community to come together to extend a mutually supportive sustainable local food system. I want to continue to work with others to participate in building our community’s food resilience. 

Rosie Russell, Secretary

I’m a lover of healthy food, the arts, connecting people and making the world better, kinder and safer.

Sarah Wilberforce

Having worked in schools for ten years I’m very interested in the health and wellbeing of children. I’m deeply committed to several of Bridport’s community food initiatives including the Edible Gardens project in two primary schools, the Glut Stall and Sustainable Bridport.

Ian Bark, Chair

I’m passionate about groups that are rooted in community and it is this sense of community and working together, towards a sustainable greater good for our town that inspires me.                            

Lucy Saville, Communications

As an organic market gardener I’m passionate about producing nutritious food in a sustainable way. Working with Bridport Food Matters to help increase access to good food for everyone in our community, and grow our local food economy, is very exciting.

Rachel Millson, Edible Bridport

I believe in the transformative nature of growing, cooking and sharing food.  Growing food in public spaces is not only beneficial in terms of the food produced but it also fosters an understanding of the issues surrounding food production.

Roz Salik, trustee

I grew up in my parents’ Polish/Italian delicatessen and have a lifelong passion for food, food education and food-related community activities in Bridport. I’m also Events Manager for The Food Foundation.

Sam Wilberforce, Treasurer

I was a founder member of Transition Town Bridport, now sustainable Bridport, and am a trustee of Dorset climate Action Network. I think local food is very important to increase the resilience of our town. Healthier food should be available for everyone at a price they can afford.
