    We stand with @MarcusRashford in calling on Government to conduct an URGENT COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW into #FreeSchoolMeals policy across UK nations. Sticking plasters & short term solutions will not suffice. Now is the time to act. #EndChildFoodPoverty

    It is so important when people stand up to help end the stigma of #FreeSchoolsMeals & support our urgent campaign to expand FSM’s - @ZaynMalik is doing just that. He has written to @RishiSunak to address the issue of 800k children in poverty missing out - writetoyourmp.click/link

    No child should be unable to attend or concentrate at school due to lack of access to healthy food. This should not be happening in our country in 2020. We stand stand alongside @MarcusRashford in saying to our Government: urgent change is needed. #EndChildFoodPoverty #Right2Food
