Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford is a professional footballer who plays for Manchester United and England. In March 2020, during the UK lockdown, Rashford teamed up with the poverty and food waste charity FareShare to deliver meals to those in the Greater Manchester area who were no longer receiving their free school meals, as well as to children who attended community centres and school breakfast clubs.

Rashford decided to fully support FareShare and set an initial target of supporting 400,000 children in the region. The initiative quickly raised over £20 million to provide food for children nationwide who would be receiving free school meals if they were at school. The charity managed to provide millions of meals across the country during the campaign.
