Marcus Rashford: World of Football

Autorentext

Marcus Rashford MBE is Manchester United's iconic number 10, currently on loan at La Liga club Barcelona, and an England International footballer.

During the lockdown imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Marcus teamed up with the food distribution charity FareShare to cover the free school meal deficit for vulnerable children across the UK, raising in excess of million. Marcus successfully lobbied the British Government to u-turn policy around the free food voucher programme - a campaign that has been deemed the quickest turnaround of Government policy in the history of British politics - so that 1.3 million vulnerable children continued to have access to food supplies whilst schools were closed during the pandemic.

In response to Marcus's End Child Food Poverty campaign, the British Government committed 0 million to support vulnerable children across the UK, supporting 1.7 million children for the next twelve months.

In October 2020, he was appointed MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours. Marcus has committed himself to combating child food poverty in the UK and his book You Are a Champion is an inspiring guide for children about reaching their full potential.
