A report from the Trussell Trust highlighted that the number of people using foodbanks has increased by 400 per cent in Scotland.

Commenting on the findings, local Councillor Mags MacLaren said: “It is an absolute disgrace that in a country as wealthy as Scotland, Westminster’s actions have forced 4,590 people in Renfrewshire to rely on foodbanks to survive.

“This situation is only going to get worse if we remain part of the UK.”
