Food bank set up for struggling pet owners

A food bank for pets has been set up to support people who are struggling to feed and care for their animals.

Steven Smith, from Banff, Aberdeenshire, launched the Aberdeen City and Shire Pet Food Bank – the second the second of its kind in Scotland.

As well as helping out individuals, Steven wants his organisation to benefit animal rescue centres and shelters. He said: “The concept has been in my head for a few months – my friend has one in Glasgow that’s a huge success, so she inspired me to start my own.”
