“Small businesses who had not earned a penny this year reopened their kitchens knowing they would be running at an even greater loss. Football put rivalry aside, people opened up their arms and welcomed people in. It was really touching.”

He said everyone can play a role in combating child food poverty in the UK even if it is just a kind word or gesture.

“It’s only togetherness and unity that is going to guarantee sustainable long-term change.

2020

“We all have a responsibility to protect our vulnerable as it could be any one of us – if 2020 has taught us anything it should be that.”

The Manchester United star offered a message of encouragement to Big Issue vendors who have faced financial and emotional hardship this year.

“It will get better. It will get easier. However big or small, we all play a role in society, and our voices matter.”

Paul McNamee, editor of the Big Issue, said: “What better way to lift the spirits in this most difficult of Christmas times than with Marcus Rashford, the man who has improved the lives of so many children this year? It’s a joy to have this exclusive interview with Marcus.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
