Marcus Rashford said speaking out personally about his experience of food poverty was ‘necessary to get the message across’ about ensuring vulnerable children are fed during school holidays. Speaking in a BBC documentary about his campaign, the Manchester United footballer said: ‘It should never be normal for somebody to feel how I felt.’ Rashford spearheaded two campaigns which forced Boris Johnson into high-profile U-turns over extending free school meals into the holidays for low-income families.
