Marcus Rashford has vowed to keep campaigning to lift children out of poverty after receiving his MBE, saying he will give the medal to his mum.

The England footballer, who last year forced two major government U-turns to extend free school meals into the school holidays, received his MBE for services to vulnerable children at Windsor Castle on Tuesday.

Rashford, 24, has helped raise enough money since March 2020 to help the food waste charity FareShare distribute more than 21m meals for families experiencing food insecurity.

Rashford was outspoken in his opposition to the government’s axing of the £1,040-a-year – £20-a-week – universal credit uplift on 6 October.

Massive congratulations is in order for my fellow Activist & Campaigner in lift children out of poverty.” I personally do think that Sir DR Marcus Rashford has a ring to it. However congratulations Dr Marcus Rashford MBE. Well deserved,

“Get Your Act Together UK Government, The Long Winding Road.”

Marcus has: 

⚽ Helped provide millions of free school meals and raised over £20m
⚽ Become the youngest person to top The Sunday Times Giving List
⚽ Partnered with Macmillan to give books to 80,000 kids

He went through a broken system where his mum went hungry to feed him and his siblings and doesn’t want anyone to go through the same. 

His use of social media to amplify this message is a masterclass in doing it right.

However their is still number of families which still go hungry Marcus Rashford mission still a progressive one as the government has still not continued the food vouchers for a number of families. #getthejobdone UK Government.
