Hawzah News Agency - The England striker told Newsnight he was "overwhelmed" by the support offered by councils and businesses recently to help provide free school meals where they were not available.

The response by the community came after a bid by Labor to offer free meals to children was rejected by MPs earlier this year.

In an effort to tackle this issue, the Muslim Youth Group in Huddersfield has also stepped up and is calling on businesses and organizations that it is happy to help facilitate region-wide distribution of free school meals.

Sikandar Mahmood, regional youth leader, Yorkshire, says: "This has been a tough year for people of all ages and backgrounds.

"Whether it has been the sick and elderly who are unable to leave their homes or our valiant response teams like the NHS who are working tirelessly to support our country, we have been on a mission to ensure that such people are provided proper food and PPE through the help of our door-to-door delivery service.

"Now that schools have reopened, many parents will be concerned for the welfare of their children.
