FULL TIME GET COOKING WITH MARCUS AND TOM

We are hugely excited to announce that Marcus Rashford MBE and Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge have joined forces to launch ‘Full Time Get Cooking with Marcus & Tom’ supported by Facebook and Instagram. 

In response to the UK Government’s April 2021 uplift of the Healthy Start voucher scheme ‘FULL TIME: Get Cooking with Marcus & Tom’ is a nationwide initiative, launching Sunday 25th April, in support of the #EndChildFoodPoverty campaign launched by Marcus in September 2020, and in partnership with his Child Poverty Taskforce. Together, the goal is to call ‘Full Time’ on child food poverty.

The ambitious project aims to equip families with the skills to get the most out of the Healthy Start vouchers which from April will equate to £4.25 per child under the age of 4 per week and to encourage a 100% take up rate from eligible families. 

Tom has created 52 family recipes, as part of this 12 month long programme.  The recipes are simple and easy to follow with emphasis on limited equipment and inclusion of store cupboard goods with a longer shelf life.

From Sunday 25th April recipes will be available to pick up in various forms from selected supermarkets every Sunday morning. Each recipe will feature a QR code linking through to the ‘FULL TIME’ Instagram page where users can access short-form tutorial videos, hosted by Tom, Marcus and a selection of celebrity guests and families.
