I don’t normally talk about my charity initiatives, but I do want to bring some attention to the important and incredible work done by the football-related organisation, Fans Supporting Foodbanks.
I’ve donated to fund a special project set up by Liverpool West Derby MP Ian Byrne, who is a co-founded of FSF, and who leads the Right to Food campaign in parliament. I think the fact that it is even necessary in this day and age is shameful. I think we have the right to expect our government, in the fifth richest economy in the world, to create a fair and just society where children don’t go hungry, where people aren’t forced into poverty.
But we can’t stand by and watch that happen, because we know it shouldn’t happen. Ian’s project is so important, because it aims to make access to food a legal right for all.
