Dozens of hard-hit restaurants, bars and cafes across the country have contacted Rashford with offers of help and are pulling together to offer free meals to children in need this half term.'Blown away by news of local businesses stepping up to fill the voucher scheme deficit during the October half term.'Add #ENDCHILDFOODPOVERTY to your tweets so I can track them. I will share as many as I can.'The fast food giant McDonald's has also pledged to a million free meals for families.

Southwark Council leader Kieron Williams is doing the same, stating that the Government 'failed, so we are stepping up'. The London council will reallocate funds to pay for free meals over half term. Responding to Rashford's tweet, Labour Leader Kier Starmer said:"If the Government won’t do the right thing, the great people of this country will.

Rashford, a forward for Manchester United, was recently awarded an MBE after his successful campaign for free school meal vouchers over the summer holidays.
