The initiative, Plan Zheroes, uses an online map to match up supermarkets, grocers, hotels or even film crews offering free food with charities who are looking for some. Fifty charities have signed up.

Suppliers include Henry Brosi, head chef at the Dorchester Hotel, who organisers say has pledged to donate leftover supplies. The scheme will be launched by Lotti Henley, 86, of the London Sustainable Development Commission, at City Hall on Wednesday.

Mrs Henley, of Earl's Court, told of the starvation in Germany after the war. She said was reduced to eating scraps out of bins, adding: "I'm horrified by how people waste food now."
