Footballer says his campaign to end child food poverty in England still has a ‘million miles to go’
The footballer Marcus Rashford has called on ministers to offer a guaranteed “meal a day” to all school pupils in England in financially struggling families as he warned that his campaign to end child food poverty still had a “million miles to go”.
In a recorded video hearing with the Commons petitions committee, the Manchester United and England striker repeated his call for a review of the free school meals system, saying the government was too slow to put measures in place when coronavirus hit, with the result that too many families were “left with nothing”.
