Singer Zayn Malik has written to the prime minister calling for free school meals for all children in families on Universal credit, ahead of next week’s budget
Malik, a new ambassador for the charity, grew up in Bradford and depended himself on free school meals.
The former member of One Direction is backing the charity’s Feed the Future campaign, and has written to Rishi Sunak calling on him to extend the threshold for free school meals to all families on universal credit.
The call comes as UK food price inflation rose to a record annual rate of 11.6 per cent in October, according to the latest monthly report from the British Retail Consortium and the data firm Nielsen.
