BD Group in the Community
BD Group is an independent commercial company that is wholly owned by the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, which combines the best experience from the private sector with the ethos and care of the public sector service and all our profits are invested back into the people and communities in which we serve, fully supporting the wellbeing of the Borough of Barking & Dagenham.
We strive to improve the environment in which we live and work whilst caring about the communities where we operate. We deliver meaningful social value and improve people’s lives in the communities. We develop social value plans, in partnership with our clients, to deliver long-term, sustainable outcomes. We proactively look to offer employment and training opportunities to local people and support initiatives to provide employment opportunities to young and disadvantaged people.
We aim to improve the overall health of the Borough by investing in the development of our team, teaching life skills, such as cooking, through after school classes and delivering workshops to promote good health across the community.
Sustainable Meals, Healthy Futures
We are BD Together, part of BD Group, a council-owned company providing a range of services for the Barking & Dagenham community.
Last summer, we celebrated the work we do with schools in and around Barking and Dagenham by bringing delicious, sustainable meals to local children.
Our award-winning climate-friendly school food is better for the children, the community, and the planet.
Whilst keeping the children at the center of everything we do, we are ensuring that we are supporting our planet and not contributing to its destruction.
We are extremely proud to have been awarded a Soil Association silver Food for Life accreditation. We take pride in offering organic and local produce in our school meals.
We want to partner with you to involve parents and children through activities and initiatives to raise awareness of the importance of eating both healthily and sustainably and lowering the carbon emissions of school food.
