Lotti Henley<\/a> is remarkable. She was described earlier this year by the London Sustainable Development Commission<\/a> as:<\/p>\n

‘…an<\/em> 86 year old war hero; an Austrian aristocrat who was forced to eat scraps of food from bins to survive during the Second World War.<\/em>..She says her lasting memory of hunger is the motivation behind her new campaign, Plan Zheroes<\/a>, which aims to link up hundreds of shops, supermarkets and other food outlets across the capital with local charities in need of free food.’<\/em><\/p>\n

I met Lotti on Thursday when she hosted the Plan Zheroes weekly team meeting. Articulate, witty and sharp she is an inspiration exuding the passion common in the volunteers who make up the PZ network.\u00a0 And she makes a great soup!<\/p>\n

Plan Zheroes have developed and run programmes for organisations who invest in corporate social responsibility. In short, organisations who care: about the environment in which they work; their staff; and their impact on the local community. And the programmes tick many of the boxes CSR\/HR\/Marketing professionals look for in running an event:<\/p>\n
