Abstract
Chef Tom Kerridge and child food poverty campaigner Marcus Rashford raised almost £200,000 to combat hunger, it was reported by BBC News.
In April 2021, Kerridge and Rashford started the Full Time Meals campaign for food redistribution charity FareShare and from 13-31 December the celebrity duo made a Christmas appeal for public donations.
The money raised will enable them to provide 750,000 meals to people facing adversity and poverty.
At the launch of the Christmas campaign, Kerridge said: “Christmas can be such a hard time for many families, Marcus and I wanted to create something that might help bring a little bit of cheer to those who are finding it difficult.
"So, I hope the recipes we have created are useful and that they will bring awareness of the Healthy Start Voucher many families are entitled to.”
