The sportsman penned an open letter to the government in which he highlighted the issues that many families up and down the country are facing amid the coronavirus pandemic.
He wrote: "Parents like mine would rely on kids' clubs over the Summer break, providing a safe space and at least one meal whilst they work. If faced with unemployment, parents like mine would have been down at the job center first Monday morning to find any work that enables them to support their families. Today there are no jobs. […] This is England in 2020, and this is an issue that needs urgent assistance."
