Atul Kochhar

Benares 

"For those of us fortunate enough to work with food every day, and never experience hunger, it's so, so important to do what we can for those less fortunate.

I am incredibly passionate about Action Against Hunger and urge you to donate, and do what you can to help fight child poverty and malnutrition across the world's poorest countries.

This is a wonderful charity, and I am very proud to be involved in their excellent work in a cause which could not be more important."
