Marcus Rashford - Sport for Social Change Award - SJA British Sports Awards 2020

The Sports Journalists’ Association are delighted to announce the winners of their British Sports Awards, sponsored by the National Lottery. Usually a gala event in central London, this year the awards were held via a virtual ceremony, hosted by Jim Rosenthal. Manchester United and England footballer Marcus Rashford has shown a maturity belying his 23 years to headline a campaign to ensure the Government took responsibility for feeding hungry children during school holidays. The public support he enjoyed forced the Government into two embarrassing policy U-turns. Marcus, remembering his own childhood in Wythenshawe, Manchester refused to accept these victories as the end game. He has carried on campaigning and won widespread national support in raising funds to keep feeding the needy and hungry. SJA Chair Ashley Broadley said: “Marcus Rashford has shown maturity beyond his years, highlighting again the influence footballers can have in society. He has now become a hero off the football field.”
