Marcus Rashford a champion of free meals for school children

Manchester United striker, Marcus Rashford has been out of action since being sidelined with an injury late last year but he is in the news again. Not for his footballing skills or recovery but for a campaign he is championing for the UK to extend free school meals throughout the summer.

The UK government has now made a U-turn on an earlier decision and announced that a ‘Covid summer school fund’ is to be established, after an open letter from the England striker called on the government to reverse an earlier decision not to provide free school meal vouchers beyond school hours.
