Charity left unable to feed thousands of vulnerable Scots after firebugs torch delivery van

A homeless charity has been left unable to feed thousands of vulnerable Scots after cruel vandals torched their delivery van. Fire crews were called to the blaze outside the Cyrenians' FareShare depot in Leith, Edinburgh, on Sunday night.

Yobs havd set the motor alight on at 10.30pm, with four engines used to tackle the flames at its height. The charity has said that their delivery vehicle has been left destroyed as a result of the blaze, meaning they will be hindered in their ability to deliver food to some of the most vulnerable groups in the capital and the surrounding area.

Edinburgh Live reports that around 20,000 beneficiaries in 130 groups that the charity delivers to every week will be affected by the fire as pantries across the city are cancelled this week.
