A prologued period of dire living standards, worsened by a cost of living crisis, teamed with sustained campaigns to dehumanise marginalised groups. It’s a recipe for a dramatic rise of the far right. We need fierce, unapologetic opposition to this, not more ineffective pandering
⭐ Is #BroadBay really full of starfish & nothing else? Here's what we found: healthy habitats & biodiversity - but there's also evidence of illegal dredging. Marine protection must be enforced so the environment & local fisheries can benefit.

As we continue to fight to #SaveGlasgowFoodTrain, we are speaking to our older members and volunteers to understand the impact it will have on them if the branch closes.
Over the coming days & weeks we will be sharing their voices...
One of the food train members I met told me that without their deliveries “I would just die. I wouldn’t have any food. I’ve nobody in Glasgow. Not a soul.”
Not the news I wanted to return to work to
Anger is my main emotion right now. Anger that elected officials can vote to take away a service that has & continues to save & enhance lives
People may die from this decision, starve...! A moral conscience..?
Tune into @BBCRadioScot this afternoon from 12 - 1.30pm.
Our members and volunteers will be sharing the devastating impact the potential closure of Glasgow Food Train would have and why our services are a lifeline for older people.

We’re fighting to secure the survival of our Glasgow branch, which faces closure within weeks unless we can source new funding. Could you, your business or organisation get behind us as we work to secure long-term support for older people? Email [email protected] PRT
"Food Train gave me my appetite back because I didn't have to worry about how I was going to get shopping, they really came to my rescue and it's really upsetting to see how they're being treated, it's really horrific and unfair."
