On Wednesday 16th December, 12-2pm, Trafalgar Square will host a free feast of biblical proportions: a modern day Feeding the 5000.

A partnership of campaigners, charities and supporters will serve a delicious lunch for 5000 made from food that otherwise would have been wasted. The aim is to highlight the ease of cutting the current barely believable levels of food waste in the UK and internationally.

Organised by the food waste campaigner and author of Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal, Tristram Stuart, Feeding the 5000 will highlight the work of partner organisations, Save the Children, ActionAid, This is Rubbish and FareShare.

The Bishop of London will speak at the event and chef and restaurateur Thomasina Miers (Wahaca), will present a cookery master class.
