Funding axed for Glasgow charity that feeds elderly 'with no one else to help them'

A Glasgow charity that delivers lifeline shopping supplies to the city's elderly is facing closure after Glasgow City Council officials recommended their funding be axed.

Food Train operates across Glasgow, providing food and support to at least 200 elderly people every week.
