A Lanarkshire foodbank has had its busiest year since being founded as the cost of living crisis and the covid-19 pandemic hit locals hard.
New figures have revealed that Rutherglen and Cambuslang Foodbank saw figures increase by 25 per cent on their previous high as volunteers helped to feed thousands of locals - including over 2000 kids.
The new stats were described as "appalling" by staff, who fear the situation will worsen as 2022 goes on.
