Yoko Ono launches new global hunger charity

Yoko Ono is launching a new charity to battle global hunger.

John Lennon's widow has teamed up with Hard Rock International and officials at the WhyHunger campaign to create Imagine There's No Hunger - a reference to her late husband's peace anthem, Imagine.

The organisation will raise awareness and funds in an effort to resolve child hunger and poverty, and Ono is asking faqns to get involved in the project by talking a moment on 1 November to "imagine a nourished and abundant world, where the world will live as one".

Limited edition bracelets will also be sold to support the charity's fundraising efforts.
