Glasgow Food Train charity could close within days after vital funding axed

A Glasgow charity which delivers lifeline shopping supplies to elderly residents has had its funding axed after it was deemed “not a high enough priority” by the city council.

Food Train, which operates across the city providing food and support to at least 200 elderly people every week, had its funding cut in the latest round of the Glasgow Communities Fund and risks closure within the next ten days.

The organisation said it was disappointed that events did not go their way funding wise and confirmed the council had reached out to them to help them identify other funding sources. The group also pledged to 'continue the fight' to keep their branch open.
