A pensioner who has gone without a warm meal in six years says a warm spaces project has changed his life.
John Foster, 76, had been living off tuna and boiled eggs, rarely turned on his heating and kept his milk on the doorstep to keep it cold before visiting the Pallion Action Group Warm Spaces hub.
Staff at the hub asked the Sunderland pensioner, who was struggling financially, to come in every day so they knew he was having at least one hot meal.
