The Courtyard Pantry Enterprise has launched a project where people can join for £1 and buy groceries worth £10 to £15 for a further £2.50 after receiving a £10,000 donation.
A project to tackle food poverty in the north of Glasgow will run a “game-changing” series of community meal events which will allow people to buy up to £15 of food for just £2.50 over the winter months.
The registered charitable organisation plans to run four community meal events every month between November and March – each catering for 30 people and covering all dietary and cultural requirements. This will come to a total of around 700 meals, along with a larger dinner to welcome in the festive season.READ MORE: Glasgow councillors clash over what left over fuel poverty cash should be spent on
