Marcus Rashford MBE is famous worldwide for his skills both on and off the pitch – but before he was a Manchester United and England footballer, and long before he started his inspiring campaign to end child food poverty, he was just an average kid from Wythenshawe, South Manchester. Now the nation's favourite footballer wants to show our young people how to achieve their dreams, in this positive and inspiring guide for life.
Written with journalist Carl Anka, You Are a Champion is packed full of stories from Marcus’s own life, brilliant advice and top-tips from performance psychologist Katie Warriner.
The past 18 months have been extremely tough on us all but especially our young people. We feel passionately that getting books, and particularly getting this book, at this moment into their hands can be a real game changer.
Crickhowell may be considered an affluent area but within a very short distance from our bookshop are some of the highest rates of child poverty in Europe. Around 200,000 children are living in poverty in Wales, or one in three of the total population, according to Save the Children charity. In addition, as many as 90,000 live in severe poverty. On both counts, Wales has the highest rate of child poverty of any nation in the UK.
Each donation of x will get a book into the hand of a young person who needs it through our links with local secondary schools.
