Chris Moore, chief executive of The Clink Charity, said: “We are delighted to be supporting chef Massimo Bottura’s charitable food wastage project for yet another year.
“As a charity and as a hospitality business we always look to work in collaboration with other likeminded organisations and Refettorio, like The Clink, works tirelessly tot change lives for the better.”
