An altruistic home shopping and delivery charity has revealed that older people in Perth and Kinross are being forced to “juggle between keeping warm and keeping fed” as energy and everyday costs soar.
Food Train, which serves over-65s across Scotland, revealed in its nationwide Cost of Living survey that 27 per cent of those who took part said they are buying less food so they can save money to heat their homes.
Twenty five per cent said they would struggle to pay their bills and 60 per cent said they will heat their home less.
