Scots pensioner hospitalised with malnourishment fears he will starve over food charity cuts

A disabled Scots pensioner who was in hospital due to malnourishment said he fears he will starve when a food charity which delivers his shopping closes down.

Walter Izatt has motor neurone disease and is housebound, relying on Food Train volunteers bringing him his weekly shopping. He said the axing of Glasgow City Council funding for the Food Train is "horrific and unfair".

Glasgow Food Train delivers food and support to at around 200 elderly people each week. However the lifeline service is set to close within the next 10 weeks after funding through the Glasgow communities fund was axed, reports Glasgow Live.
