Bridgend celebrates Sustainable Food Places Bronze Award
Friday 28 November 2025
Bridgend has been awarded a prestigious Bronze Sustainable Food Places Award at the annual Wales Real Food and Farming Conference (WRFFC), held at Pencoed College on 18 November.
Recognising the Bridgend Sustainable Food Partnership (BSFP) for its leadership in promoting healthy, sustainable, and locally sourced food, the Sustainable Food Places Award reflects the strong foundations built through county-wide collaboration, uniting residents, community groups, schools, and food businesses in creating a fairer, greener local food system.
Hosted by Bridgend County Borough Council and supported by Food Sense Wales, the Bridgend Sustainable Food Partnership launched in early 2024 to bring together growers, businesses, educators, and community organisations. The partnership is building a local food movement that supports health, climate action, and the local economy.
To mark the award and the next stage of its journey, the partnership has launched a new website which showcases local projects, resources, events, and opportunities for residents, schools, and businesses to get involved.

“I am thrilled that the partnership has been rewarded for its collaborative work to tackle some of today’s most pressing food challenges — from food poverty and diet-related ill health to supporting local producers and reducing food waste. “This award is a fantastic recognition of how far the partnership has come, but it’s also a call to keep building momentum. By working together, we’re showing how powerful collaboration can be in creating a fairer, more resilient food system for Bridgend.”
