In our second episode, we discuss Free School Meals. Whose responsibility is it to make sure that children in the UK don’t go hungry? Why is there such a stigma surrounding food poverty? What has Marcus Rashford got to do with all of this? In 2019/20 1.9 million people in the UK used food banks. Food poverty is clearly a big issue, and it’s something we need to talk about. Join us, Moe and Marns, as we tackle the latest Elephant in the Room.
