Hello everyone! Welcome to this weeks episode of the Feminist Lens podcast with Nina de Ayala Parker and Peris Thuo! Today we are joined by Carmel McConnell MBE, author and campaigner, who campaigns on child poverty, education and well-being. Carmel is the Founder of the children’s charity Magic Breakfast. You may remember or know of Magic Breakfast when they collaborated with Macus Rashford and Jack Monroe on the free school meals campaign which ended in the Government’s U-turn on school meal vouchers during the christmas holidays of 2020. Or you may know magic breakfast in their own right as one of the most important children’s charities in the UK, which dedicates their work to eliminating child hunger by providing free breakfast to schools across the UK. Carmel stepped back from day to day involvement in the charity in 2020, but continues to use her voice to campaign on behalf of hungry schoolchildren.
