Local Food Links initial aim was to provide a hot meal service to the schools in the Bridport pyramid of primary schools. This project came out of a history of working with schools that included cookery workshops, gardening, and a hot soup service. Following the announcement in 2006 that all schools needed to have plans in place to provide a hot meal option to all students by 2008, Local Food Links invited pyramid schools to opt out of the central County contract and work together to provide a local solution. Further information about the school meals project can be found here.

Building on a successful soup lunch pilot project pioneered with Bridport Primary School and St. Mary's Primary School in 2006 and 2006, Local Food Links has partnered with the eight primary schools in the Bridport Pyramid to provide a transported hot meals service to children and families. Four schools in neighbouring pyramids joined the partnership in 2008. The twelve schools participating in the Bridport region are: - Bridport Primary School
- Broadwindsor School
- Burton Bradstock Primary School
- Charmouth School
-
- Loders Primary School
- Powerstock School
- Salway Ash Primary School
- St. Mary's CE VC Primary School
- St. Catherine's Primary School
- St. Michael's Primary School (Lyme Regist)
- Symondsbury School
- Thorner's Primary School
On 16 February, 2009, Local Food Links took on management of a Dorset County Council owned kitchen in the Blandford Children's Centre. Between March and May, full hot school meal services will be rolled out to the eight schools in the Blandford Pyramid. Parents and Carers of children at a Local Food Links partner school can now choose, order, and pay for meals online, through myschoolmeals.co.uk |
