Hi, it's Andy here and welcome to Radio Headspace and to Friday morning.

And given it's the end of the week, you want to finish on something sort of positive

and there's a story going on in the UK at the moment involving an incredible young footballer

who Marcus Rashford.

Marcus Rashford, three hours ago at the United.

They are running right here now.

Who is really championing and pioneering the drive to ensure that school children get fed

no matter what time of year, whether it's during term time, whether it's during the holiday time

and that children in poverty can actually have access to food.

What's often not sort of known is that many children, the only time that they actually get quality food

sometimes food at all is at school.

And there's a whole system whereby you get sort of free school meals.

If your parents sort of qualify, you go into school, you'll get free school meals.

And growing up myself, I got free school meals.

My parents qualified, they didn't have money, my dad was out of work a lot.

I know I remember as a kid feeling both grateful on the one hand, but embarrassed too.

That we couldn't as a family afford food.

But at the same time, really grateful.

We definitely weren't in the category of if I went home, I wasn't going to get fed.

We would find food of course.

But there are some children in some families who simply can't find that food.

And anyway, the government made the decision, this isn't about politics.
