Pensioner who ended up in hospital malnourished says Glasgow Food Train funding cut is 'horrific'

Walter Izatt has motor neurone disease and is housebound, relying on Food Train volunteers bringing him his weekly shopping.

The charity, which delivers food and support to at least 200 elderly people each week, is set to close within the next ten weeks after it's funding through the Glasgow communities fund has been axed.
