Christina Adane is a British social campaigner responsible for the campaign to feed disadvantaged children who were entitled to school meals free of charge in term-time but not provided for (at all) in the summer holidays, and so at risk of hunger. This campaign was given a high profile by footballer Marcus Rashford and as a result the UK government changed its policy in 2020.[1][2] Adane was one of the BBC's 100 Women of 2020, "the hundred most inspiring and influential women in the world".[3]
